Overview

This department provides tertiary medical care to patients with neurological disorders and other neurogenetic and genetic illnesses (eg muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, neurovascular diseases and Alzheimer’s disease) that require specialized diagnosis and treatment.

The medical care includes follow up appointments at the Outpatients Clinic and, when necessary, admission to the neurological ward. Furthermore, the department provides specialized laboratory diagnostic services in neurophysiology, neurovascular disorders and neuropathology.

Physiotherapy services are also provided to patients with neuromuscular and other disabling disorders. The social services (on site and at home) also provide advice and support to patients and their families.

The department houses orthopaedic, respiratory gastroenterology and endocrinology clinics for a more comprehensive care of patients. A psychologist and a dietician are available on a weekly basis.

The Clinical Neurology department examines, investigates and treats more than 6,000 patients annually with a steadily increasing number of referrals.
