Why Interventional Neurology Matters

In an acute stroke, the difference between full recovery and permanent disability is often measured in minutes. Interventional neurology treats strokes, aneurysms, and vascular malformations of the brain and spine using catheter-based techniques through a small puncture — often avoiding open brain surgery entirely.

Health1's program is led by USA fellowship-trained expertise in stroke and interventional neurology, supported by an in-house interventional radiology team for complex cases.

Beyond Stroke: Other Reasons to See a Neurologist

Recurring or severe headaches
Unexplained numbness or tingling
Seizures, new or recurring
Memory changes beyond normal aging
Tremor or coordination problems

What a Neurology Consultation Involves

A neurological exam checks reflexes, strength, coordination, and sensation — often revealing useful information before any scan is ordered. Imaging (MRI, CT, or vascular studies) is used selectively based on what the exam and history suggest, rather than as an automatic first step for every symptom.

Common Questions

What is the "golden hour" in stroke treatment?

The first few hours after stroke symptoms begin are critical — the sooner treatment starts, the more brain function can potentially be saved. If you notice sudden weakness, slurred speech, or facial drooping, get to an emergency department immediately rather than waiting to see if it passes.

Is thrombectomy different from clot-busting medication?

Yes — thrombectomy is a catheter-based procedure to physically remove a clot, used for larger blockages or when medication alone isn't enough. The two approaches are often used together depending on the case.

When should I see a neurologist versus going to the ER?

Sudden symptoms (weakness, vision loss, confusion, severe headache) need emergency care immediately. Ongoing symptoms like recurring headaches or numbness are appropriate for a scheduled neurology consultation.
