Cerebral Infarction

Approximately 60~70% of stroke is due to cerebral infarction, which involves the condition when the brain cannot get enough blood flow due to clogged cerebral vessels. As the blood carries necessary nutrients and oxygen to the brain cells, cerebral ischemia permanently damages brain cells near vascular legions.

Stroke

Diagnosis • Treatment of Stroke within 20 minutes of Hospital Admission

Torticollis

Torticollis is a stiff neck associated with muscle spasm. It accompanies the condition of one’s head tilted to one side due to lateral flexion contracture of the cervical spine musculature. Although torticollis has generally been treated with medications or muscle relaxing injections, these non-surgical treatments often cannot cure torticollis completely.

Neurosurgery

The Dept. of Neurosurgery diagnoses and treats diseases of brain and spine in the central nerve system, and disorders in the peripheral nerve system. This department can be divided into cerebral vascular surgery, pediatric neurosurgery, brain tumor surgery, brain stereotactic – function surgery, spinal surgery and trauma and peripheral neurosurgery. Having established a solid foundation through a great deal of effort, this department is ready to step forward with a new vision and goals for the next 10 years.
