Research suggests that in 2016 these disorders were the second largest cause of death worldwide. The most common neurological disorders are strokes, migraines, dementia, meningitis and epilepsy. The WHO is particularly concerned about the poor treatment of these disorders in many under developed countries. However, in developed countries, there is no shortage of expertise in the neurological field. Neurologists focus on disorders affecting the central nervous system, that is the brain and spinal cord, and by extension the peripheral nervous system composed of nerves and muscles. There are more than 5000 neurological diseases. Some of the more well-known are Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, motor neuron disease, myasthenia gravis and brain tumours. A Neurosurgeon performs surgeries on areas such as the spinal cord and peripheral nerves, including removing tumours, fixing prolapsed discs, and dealing with aneurysms. They may also implant electrodes in the brain to provide deep brain stimulation (DBS), reducing tremors caused by Parkinson’s disease. Cerebrospinal problems in babies such as hydrocephalus and spina bifida can also be treated. The US current affairs publication Newsweek has published a list in 2021 of what it considers the best neurology hospitals worldwide with the finest doctors and facilities. We’ve highlighted the top 10 leading Neurological centers here:
