 Introduction to neurosurgery/neurology

1. What is neurosurgery/neurology?

 The department of neurosurgery/neurology specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders caused by malfunctions of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, such as movement, thinking, and memory. We also provide surgical treatment if necessary. Neurology, on the other hand, provides diagnosis and treatment that does not require surgery.
We have doctors who can handle both types of medical care.

2. Diseases treated by neurosurgery/neurology

  • Headache, dizziness, forgetfulness (dementia), health consultation for walking disorder

  • Prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage (cerebral aneurysm), etc.

  • head health consultation

  • Lifestyle guidance and treatment for lifestyle-related diseases (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, etc.)

  • Prevention, diagnosis and treatment of shivering, convulsions, epilepsy and syncope

  • Diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease

  • Diagnosis and surgery for head injury (subdural hematoma), normal pressure hydrocephalus, etc.

  • Imaging diagnosis of brain tumor

  • Medical consultation (second opinion)

​

If you feel even a little uneasy, please come to the hospital.
* Numbness in hands and feet, paralysis, difficulty with slurred speech
*Language disorder (difficult to speak, difficulty in expressing words well)
* Vision impairment (cannot see things well, some parts cannot be seen, double vision)
* Memory impairment, forgetfulness
* fainting, unconsciousness
*Difficulty walking/cannot walk straight

​

We recommend that you see a doctor if:
* Middle-aged and elderly people
* Those who have a family member or relative who has suffered from a brain disease such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, or subarachnoid hemorrhage
*Those with blood pressure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, arrhythmia, heart disease, etc.
* Those who have lifestyle habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption

​

"Stroke" is one of the leading causes of death in Japan, and the number of patients continues to increase. Most of them occur suddenly without warning. In addition to daily self-management, early detection and early treatment are more important than anything else.
 

3. Treatment

a. Treatment of systemic diseases
Visceral obesity combined with lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, known as metabolic syndrome, and smoking have long been known to increase the risk of stroke (cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage). However, recently, it has begun to be said that the risk of dementia also increases. In addition, certain types of cardiac arrhythmias are important risk factors for stroke. Aggressive treatment of these systemic disorders reduces the risk of developing brain disorders. law

​

b. Recurrence prevention and rehabilitation of brain diseases
　Patients with brain disease require more systemic management of blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels than healthy people in order to reduce the risk of disease exacerbation or recurrence. They also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. I manage these as a family doctor. In addition, patients with aftereffects may require rehabilitation. At our hospital, we provide rehabilitation to patients with reduced motor, language, and higher brain functions (cognitive functions).

​

c. Forgetful outpatient
　By imaging diagnosis such as MRI and dementia test, we will make a differential diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment. Forgetfulness is divided into "normal forgetfulness" depending on age, "mild forgetfulness" and "diseased forgetfulness", which are said to be prone to dementia. Even forgetfulness caused by illness can be cured with early detection and appropriate treatment.
