Neurological diseases

1. Parkinson’s is one of the most dangerous brain diseases. Parkinson’s disease is one of the most dangerous brain diseases. It affects the brain cells that control movement. It is believed that the disease is caused by a decrease in the brain’s dopamine levels. There are various symptoms for this type of disease, but it usually begins between the ages of 50 and 60. The initial symptom is usually a tremor in the hands, feet or elbows. Other symptoms include muscle stiffness, balance problems when walking, slow movement and difficulty speaking and swallowing.
There may also be moments when a person begins to tremble severely and loses the ability to walk. In some patients, Parkinson’s disease progresses and worsens, in others the severity of the disease does not increase.

2. Brain tumors

There are different types of brain tumors, but only some of them are considered dangerous. Although not all tumors are fatal, they are still one of the most dangerous brain diseases.
Regardless of whether these tumors migrate or not, they can still be considered a threat. The main causes of brain cancer are still unknown, but a number of causes have been found. Currently, there are 23,400 types of cancer that begin in the brain.
Brain tumor formation can occur at any age, but it is more likely to occur in older ages. Symptoms include problems with vision, hearing, speech, balance, headaches, sudden attacks, paralysis of facial muscles, etc. Doctors must diagnose and use radiotherapy or surgery to treat or remove the tumor, depending on the patient’s condition.

3. Mental disorders

Today, many people have some form of mental illness. This disease does not seem dangerous, but in cases where it manifests itself acutely and causes harm to oneself or others, it will be classified as a dangerous brain disease.
This type of brain and neurological disease may be mild, but its prevalence is more common than the public realizes. There are also many different types of mental illnesses. Some are relatively harmless, but others require immediate medical attention. Some common symptoms of mental illness include: extreme mood swings, changes in eating habits, confusion and difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, thoughts of suicide, extreme anger, difficulty understanding or communicating with people, and withdrawal from friends and activities that were once enjoyable.
Therapy and medication can often help people with some types of mental illness.

4. Autism

Autism is a relatively new neurological disorder, and researchers still don’t know much about it.
Some people with autism have genetic problems, but there is more than one cause for the condition, and some of these causes are still unknown. The way people with autism behave, learn, react, and communicate is different from most people. Autism is often diagnosed before the age of three and lasts a lifetime.
These people have varying levels of intellectual disabilities, but some of them have a high sense of humor. Some symptoms can include not responding to their name by 12 months of age, avoiding eye contact, having difficulty understanding people’s emotions, having difficulty speaking and language skills, getting upset by small changes, playing alone, etc.

5. Meningitis

Another neurodegenerative disease in the category of dangerous brain diseases, meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and brain tissue.
This inflammation can also occur in the spinal cord. To test for the presence of this disease, the doctor often extracts cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the spinal column. The disease is contagious and is transmitted fetally in 10 to 20 percent of affected people. Early symptoms include fever, stiff neck, and headache. After this stage, confusion, sensitivity to light, nausea and vomiting, and chills will occur. There are vaccines to prevent meningitis. Less common outbreaks often occur in student dormitories and military training camps.

6. Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative disease that is currently the most common type of dementia in Western countries.
By the time a person reaches the age of 85, the risk of developing the disease increases to 50%. The primary risk factor is age. The first signs of Alzheimer’s are memory problems. The person may not be able to remember everyday activities, which can lead to a breakdown in their daily lives. As the disease progresses, the person loses the ability to plan and solve problems, loses track of time and place, has difficulty using words in writing or speaking, and loses the ability to make decisions and make judgments.
Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of life, but its treatment should begin when the first symptoms are observed. There is no cure for this disease, but its progression can be slowed with early treatment.

7. Multiple Sclerosis

MS can start in different parts of the body and cause different symptoms. There are different types of MS and depending on how it attacks or relapses, it is a disease that is sometimes dangerous and in some cases the patient goes about their normal lives by controlling the symptoms
This type of brain disease mainly occurs between the ages of 15 and 60 and women are more susceptible to this disease. MS is an autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack itself. The goal is to destroy the myelin sheath around the nerves. Symptoms include weakness or numbness on one side of the body and then progressing to the other side of the body. Other symptoms include fatigue, tremors, feeling weak, slurred speech, double vision and possibly less vision in one eye than the other, etc. These people may also experience problems with the intestines and bladder, sexual functions, mental changes, paralysis and symptoms of epilepsy.

8. Hydrocephalus

When abnormal amounts of fluid build up in the brain, hydrocephalus occurs.
In children, the initial symptom is usually an enlarged head. Other symptoms include vomiting, irritability, poor appetite and eating, seizures, and drowsiness. In adults, symptoms include headaches, incoordination, difficulty staying awake and alert, decreased cognitive skills and memory, blurred vision, and loss of bladder control. When any of these symptoms are observed, it is time to see a doctor. The cause of hydrocephalus is not yet fully understood.

9. Dyslexia (reading disorder or dyslexia)

Dyslexia refers to a learning disability that is caused by a defect that leads to difficulty processing sounds or small parts of a person’s speech, resulting in words being pronounced differently from others.
Dyslexia occurs in children with normal intelligence and mobility. These patients often have poor self-esteem, have difficulty concentrating, are daydreamers and do not focus on the situation they are in, are delayed in development and do not understand the material well when reading repeatedly. When reading or writing, additions, reversals of words, deletions and repetitions are observed. Dyslexia can decrease as the person grows up and leaves childhood or is faced with a new trauma. The most common type is known as Euler’s dyslexia, which does not change with age.

10. Seizures

There are six different types of seizures, the most common of which is grand mal seizures. In some cases, seizures can sound the alarm and are considered a dangerous brain disease, and in some cases they can be controlled.
In this type of seizure, the patient loses consciousness and usually faints. Then the person’s body stiffens, followed by sudden and intense jerky movements in the body, and finally the person falls asleep and unconscious. Most other seizures do not result in fainting, but people may be completely unconscious or have a blank stare and white eyes, and often have no other symptoms. In a partial seizure, the person remains conscious and may sometimes have sensory symptoms called light flashes.
There are many conditions that can cause seizures; head trauma, brain cancer, alcohol withdrawal, heat exhaustion, caffeine overdose, acetaminophen overdose, etc.

How to follow up on international patients:

1- Follow-up by an international patient expert:
The patient’s condition is monitored by the hospital’s international patient expert through social networks for 2 days and one week after discharge, and all patient status follow-up is recorded in the relevant office.

2- Follow-up By the relevant company:
The patient’s condition is monitored by the international patient company, and if necessary, the relevant company will contact the introduced international patient expert.

Prices are approximate and may vary depending on the patient’s condition.
