Centre of Neurosciences at Vikram Hospital

Delivering the highest quality neurologic and neurosurgical care

Vikram Hospital Department of Neurosciences combines the expertise of the best neurosurgery, neurology, neuro-oncology and interventional neuro-radiology specialists with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and surgical technology to provide advanced treatment options to our patients. Our neurosciences experts are at the forefront of treating patients with highly complicated neurological and neuro-surgical conditions. To name few: Complex Aneurysm, Skull base tumours, Epilepsy surgery, Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's disease, Spine surgeries for tumours, discs and stabilization procedures.

The centre is equipped with state-of-the-art video EEG monitoring for patients with refractory epilepsy. In addition, has the distinction of being the first Hospital in Asia's to have acquired the Sonowand – the world's first real time navi-gatable 3D intra operative imaging system. Sonowand allows the neuro-surgeon to use the safest path for removal of any brain tumour, as the real-time navigation feature helps to avoid all the important nerve tissue and blood vessels surrounding the tumour to remove the tumour in totality as well.

In a short span of over 500 days since inception, our neuro-surgical team has performed over 600 brain and spine surgeries of Complex nature.
