NEUROSCIENCES“Get a head start with our neurological care”
A well organized NeuroSurgery Department headed by Dr. A. Marthanda Pillai one of the pioneer Neuro surgeons in India. This department does all kinds of Neuro surgery cases including Micro Neuro Surgery, Endoscopic Surgery, aneurysm surgery, Stereo Tactic Surgery, endospopic procedures, Microdiscectomy and all kinds of tumors. In addition to it this department is supported by a team of neurosurgeons, anesthetists, trauma care experts to handle complicated trauma cases.
This services is already in full swing and is backed up with a fully equipped ambulance with building ICU to provide patient care where its needed.
Neuro Surgical centre at AHRI is a referral Centre providing solutions to many types of tumors with the most advanced surgical procedures. Many of these employ sophisticated, non-invasive mapping techniques, computer-assisted image guidance and intra operative electrophysiological monitoring.
Skull base tumors are frequently approached in conjunction with members of other departments, notably otolaryngology. A collegial multi-disciplinary team of Neuro surgeon, Anesthesiologist, Neurologists and rehabilitation specialists are involved in the management of glial and metastatic neoplasms. performed here with the greatest attention.
Paediatric Neurosurgery is one of the major areas where this centre is performing a number of congenital and chronic pediatric neurosurgery procedures. Approximately 20 percent of the surgical procedures are for pediatric diseases, primarily hydrocephalus, spina bifida and tethered cord, and Chiari malformations.
Given the complex, multidimensional and chronic nature of most pediatric neurosurgical conditions, the division has vigorously promoted a team approach to both preoperative care and surgical intervention. Multi-disciplinary teams include Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Urology and Orthopaedics in collaboration with the pediatric department.
Parkinson's Disease and essential tremor (a more common, but lesser known, movement disorder) afflict more than 6% Indians, often with weakening, disabling symptoms. For many years, treatment options have been limited primarily due to drug therapy, whose effectiveness can decrease over time and whose side effects can be significant. Additional treatment options are now available here.
The program in spinal neurosurgery is run by Dr. A. Marthanda Pillai assisted by a team of neurosurgeons. Patients are referred from all over the country to this centre for specialised treatment and surgeries. The mix of cases includes degenerative spinal disease, spinal tumors, traumatic conditions as well as congenital conditions or infections. To undertake these complex surgeries we have facilities like Carl zeiss Microscopic, C-Arm, Pneumatic & electric drills, endoscope, etc. which are the best available. Cervical median corpectomy for cervical spondyloses and OPLL cases have been successfully done.

Facial pain is one of the most distressing neurological symptoms for which the causes are numerous and extremely varied: Cranial neuralgias are distinct, treatable syndromes which comprise one of the possible causes of facial pain. The cranial neuralgias include the following:
▸ Trigeminal Neuralgia (which is the most common)
▸ Neuralgia secondary to nervus intermedius pathology
▸ Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia.
We provide comprehensive care for all patients with peripheral nerve injury, entrapment and tumors throughout the body. Peripheral nerve problems are managed according to the type of the problem. Brachial plexus injury all types (trauma, birth, radiation) and Birth palsy (Erb’s palsy) Nerve sheath tumors throughout the body (schwannomas, neurofibromas, lipomas, metastatic tumors involving nerves or plexi, neurofibromatosis) and Radial nerve injury
▸ Thoracic outlet syndrome, both neurogenic and disputed
▸ Scapular winging, spinal accessory palsies, trapezial weakness, scapular pain
▸ All nerve entrapments in the body, both upper and lower extremities here the best brains toil (carpal tunnel [endoscopic and regular], cubital tunnel, radial tunnel, common peroneal nerve entrapment at the fibular head, ulnar nerve entrapment [wrist and elbow], tarsal tunnel, suprascapular nerve entrapment, pyriformis syndrome, AIN and PIN lesions)
▸ Lumbosacral plexus injuries and tumors (trauma, sacral fractures, radiation damage, pelvic tumors)
▸ Inguinal pain and neuropathy (trauma, pain after hernia repair or gynecological surgery) and any sciatic, tibial, or common peroneal stretch injuries
▸ Foot drop, sciatica, radicular pain and Parsonage Turner syndrome, shoulder weakness, cervical radiculopathy, and/or neck pain
▸ Peripheral nerve stimulators for neuropathic pain syndromes
▸ Surgical management of painful neuromas
