Neurology and Neurosurgery
Inova Fairfax Hospital offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for conditions related to the nervous system and brain. Our Neuroscience program consists of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Interventional Neuroradiology.
Neurology
Neurologists at Inova Fairfax Hospital work to
diagnose and treat diseases of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal
cord, peripheral nerves, muscles and blood vessels that supply them.
Neurologists often perform and interpret diagnostic tests related to the central
or peripheral nervous system or muscles. We are proud that all of our
neurologists are board-certified neurologists, meaning they have received
specialized training in the management of neurological disease. Special areas of
expertise include:
- Epilepsy
- Cerebrovascular disease
- Neuro-oncology
- Multiple sclerosis and other neuromuscular diseases
- Movement disorders
- Degenerative diseases
- Headache
- Pediatric Neurology
Neurosurgery
As part of our neurosurgery services, surgeons work closely with other
specialists to ensure patients have access to a range of expertise. In addition,
we offer dedicated Neuroscience Intensive Care and Intermediate Care Units
staffed with nurses and technologists specially trained in the care of patients
who have neurosurgical problems.
Interventional Neuroradiology
Interventional
neuroradiology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of vascular disease in the
central nervous system, brain, spine, head and neck using minimally invasive
technology and advanced imaging for guidance. At Inova Fairfax Hospital, our
dedicated specialists use the most sophisticated technology to perform
procedures including cerebral aneurysm embolization and coiling, carotid and
vertebral stenting, balloon angioplasty for vasospasm, intra arterial
thrombolysis therapy for stroke and vertebroplasty.
