Medical tourism in India provides very good assistance to international patients for their comfortable treatment in India. Significant option for curing epileptics. For neurosurgery, patients must find surgeons who are appropriately trained. Another factor to consider is cost and reimbursement. Typical cost for epilepsy surgery can vary, and many insurance companies will only provide partial coverage, or even no coverage, since they still consider the surgery experimental.
And finally, patients need to be aware that like any new medical technology, this surgery carries with it a certain level of unknown technical risks. Since epilepsy surgery it is still a relatively new procedure in India with a certain level of risks. The cost of Neurosurgery in India is very less compared to that of its cost in other developed countries.

Stroke Patient from Nigeria : Patient Testimonial
Symptoms:
Symptoms of a stroke occur suddenly. Symptoms vary depending on the location of the stroke. Each area of the brain is supplied by specific arteries. If an artery supplying the area of the brain that controls the left arm movements is blocked, that arm becomes weak or paralyzed.
The five most common signs and symptoms of stroke are:

The five most common signs and symptoms of stroke are:
- Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg - like
weakness of half of the body called as hemiplegia.
- Sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding others
called aphasia in medical terms.
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes called as mono or
binocular vision disturbance. This could be due a stroke anywhere in the
visual pathway.
- Sudden dizziness, trouble walking, or loss of balance or
coordination, this is commonly due to posterior circulation strokes.
- Sudden severe headache with no known cause is due to hemorrhage or
sometimes infarction.
Diagnosis:
The diagnosis Is based on the symptoms and a good history given by the patient or an observer. Usually any neurologic symptom occurring suddenly in a neurovascular territory is attributed to a stroke. CT scan done immediately after a stroke is almost always normal in ischemic strokes. MRI with diffusion images is sensitive to diagnose acute infarction.

Treatment of a Stroke
The treatment
for both hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke is different.
The
purpose of treating ischemic stroke is to restore the flow of the blood in the
brain. Medications are given in the first four and a half hours of the stroke
for destroying the clots in the blood vessels. An injection of tissue
plasminogen (TPA) can also be given to a patient for improving the probability
of a full recovery.
The main
purpose of treating a hemorrhagic stroke is to stop bleeding and decrease the
pressure on the brain. Instead of blood thinners, clotting drugs can be given.
After the area has been healed and the bleeding is controlled, the damaged and
leaky blood vessels are then repaired.
The first
stroke device approved by FDA is Merci retriever. The aim of this device is to
restore the flow of the blood in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus in
those patients who have ischemic stroke.
The
penumbra system (endovascular thromboaspiration) is the last FDA approved
device that has been primarily developed for removing a clot in the case of
acute ischemic stroke. In order to eliminate or reduce the clot burden, this
system uses dual approaches to clot extraction by using debulking and aspiration
of the thrombus. Clot retrieval is then used where a ring device holds the
thrombus by capturing it in clasps with a cylinder. This is then withdrawn at
the time of flow arrest. This new aspiration device (the penumbra system) has
an excellent safety profile and a high rate of ‘target vessel’ recanalization.
