Neuroscience Services

The Presbyterian Neuroscience Institute offers a wide range of services to treat neurological conditions and disorders that affect the brain and nervous system.

Presbyterian provides comprehensive clinical care for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological and nerve disorders, including disorders of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, muscles and neurobehavioral disorders. The Neuroscience Institute offers an extensive array of neuroscience services, including specific programs for stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and sleep disorders.

In April 2008, all three of Presbyterian Healthcare's Charlotte hospitals were awarded primary stroke designations by the Joint Commission. Learn more.

Nerve Conduction Study

A nerve conduction study (NCS) is a test commonly used to evaluate the function, especially the ability of electrical conduction, of the motor and sensory nerves of the human body. Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) is a common measurement made during this test.

Intraoperative Monitoring (IOM) of Nerves

Intraoperative monitoring is used to localize neural structures, for example to locate cranial nerves during skull base surgery; to test function of these structures; and for early detection of intraoperative injury, allowing for immediate corrective measures.

Neuroangiogram

A neuroangiogram is a type of x-ray that takes pictures of your blood vessels with the help of a "dye" that is injected into your arteries through a catheter. It is used to diagnose problems with the arteries or veins in the neck and brain.

Interventional Neuroradiology

Interventional neuroradiology is a subspecialty that uses special techniques to treat vascular problems of the brain and spine. These strategies involve the use of catheters (hollow plastic tubes) to treat complex cerebrovascular problems from within the blood vessels. Using this technique, surgeons can perform a variety of procedures, such as embolization of intracranial and spinal vascular malformations, as well as cerebral angioplasty.

fMRI (Functional MRI)

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to learn which regions of the brain are active in a specific function, as in speech.

Endovascular Stenting

Endovascular stenting is a minimally invasive procedure that uses advanced technology and instrumentation to treat such disorders of the circulatory system as blockage or damage to blood vessels caused by the build up of plaque (fatty deposits, calcium deposits, and scar tissue) in the arteries, a condition called atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). The doctor may recommend the placement of an endovascular stent, a small wire-mesh tube that surgeons call a scaffold, in an affected artery. The procedure may be done in conjunction with cleaning or repairing the artery.

Biplane Angiography

Used for diagnostic and interventional procedures primarily in the brain and neck, biplane angiography allows physicians to view complex vessel structures, make them transparent and visualize what lies behind them.

Aneurysm Evaluation

Treatment of aneurysm, a balloon-like sac in the wall of an artery, vein, or heart caused by a weakening of the wall by injury, disease, or abnormality present at birth.

Embolization

Embolization is the insertion of a substance through a catheter into a blood vessel to stop hemorrhaging or excessive bleeding.

Aneurysm Coiling

Aneurysm coiling is a less invasive alternative to surgical clipping. It is similar to the cerebral angiogram but instead of simply taking pictures as the contrast medium (dye) is injected into the artery, the aneurysm is treated from the catheter inside the blood vessel by the insertion of coils into the aneurysm’s sac. The coils are packed into the aneurysm. They promote blood clotting within the aneurysm. Both coils and clotting fill the aneurysm closing it off and preventing blood from entering.

Carotid Artery Disease Treatment

Treatment of carotid artery disease, which occurs when the major arteries in your neck become narrowed or blocked. These arteries, called the carotid arteries, supply your brain with blood. Your carotid arteries extend from your aorta in your chest to the brain inside your skull.

Brain Aneurysm Treatment

Treatment of brain (cerebral) aneurysm, which is a bulging, weak area in the wall of an artery that supplies blood to the brain. In most cases, a brain aneurysm causes no symptoms and goes unnoticed. In rare cases, the brain aneurysm ruptures, releasing blood into the skull and causing a stroke.

Arteriovenous Malformations Treatment

Treatment of arteriovenous malformation (AVM). In the majority of cases, AVM is a congenital disorder consisting of a connection between veins and arteries, this pathology is universally known because of its occurrence in the central nervous system, but can appear in any location.

Stroke/TIA Treatment

Treatment of stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA). A TIA, or "mini-stroke," is often a warning sign of a future stroke. Although there is no cure for stroke, advanced medical and surgical treatments are now available, giving many stroke victims hope for optimal recovery. Treatment is most effective when started immediately.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery

A type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. It is used to treat brain tumors and other brain disorders that cannot be treated by regular surgery. It is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer. Also called stereotaxic radiosurgery, radiosurgery and radiation surgery.
