Neurology

Neurology deals with the nervous system, which consists of the brain, brainstem, spinal cord and the nerves that extend from them, enveloping the body like a network. Some of these nerves carry data such as sensation, perception and movement from the end organs along specific pathways to the processing centers in the brain. Others originate in the brain's processing centers and transmit the necessary information and signals to the end organs. This structure works in integration with all the systems that make up the organism (cardiovascular, digestive, excretory, etc.). A problem arising at any point in this network can affect the whole. For this reason, neurological problems are approached with a multidisciplinary mindset.

The neurology clinics of İzmir Özel Can Hastanesi and Salihli Özel Can Hastanesi work together with other specialties that play an active role in the neurological network, such as Neurosurgery, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology (ENT), Orthopedics and Physical Therapy, and take care to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment with advanced radiological imaging equipment (MRI, CT) , neurophysiological assessment equipment (EEG, EMG), extensive laboratory facilities and a sleep laboratory.
