What Are Neurological Emergencies?
Neurological emergencies are life-threatening conditions that require immediate medical attention to prevent severe complications, permanent disability, or even death. These conditions affect the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system, leading to sudden symptoms such as unconsciousness, seizures, paralysis, or severe headaches.
At Apollo Hospital Jabalpur, the leading neurology and neurosurgery hospital in Jabalpur and the Mahakoshal region, we have a dedicated Neurocritical Care Unit equipped with advanced technology and a team of best neurologists, neurosurgeons, and emergency specialists. We provide 24/7 emergency care for patients across Jabalpur, Katni, Narsinghpur, Mandla, Seoni, Sagar, Damoh, Chhindwara, Rewa, and Satna.
Common Neurological Emergencies We Treat
1. Stroke (Brain Attack)
A stroke takes place when the blood circulation to the brain is halted, resulting in damage to brain cells. It is one of the most critical neurological emergencies.
Symptoms of Stroke (FAST Test):
- Face drooping on one side
- Arm weakness or numbness
- Speech difficulty or slurred speech
- Time to call emergency services immediately
Types of Stroke:
- Ischemic Stroke (caused by blocked arteries)
- Hemorrhagic Stroke (resulting from a broken blood vessel)
- Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) (a brief, mild stroke)
At Apollo Hospital Jabalpur, we provide clot-busting treatments (thrombolysis), emergency surgery, and advanced neurocritical care to ensure rapid stroke recovery for patients in Jabalpur, Mahakoshal, and across Madhya Pradesh.
2. Seizures & Status Epilepticus
Seizures occur due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain, leading to uncontrolled body movements, loss of consciousness, or confusion. If a seizure lasts more than 5 minutes or occurs repeatedly, it becomes status epilepticus, a life-threatening emergency.
Emergency Seizure Care at Apollo Hospital Jabalpur:
- Immediate IV medications to stop prolonged seizures
- EEG monitoring for accurate diagnosis
- Specialized treatment for epilepsy and seizure disorders
We are the preferred epilepsy treatment center in Jabalpur and nearby cities like Katni, Narsinghpur, and Seoni.
3. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) & Head Trauma
Head injuries from road accidents, falls, or sports injuries can lead to brain swelling, bleeding, or fractures. Symptoms may include:
- Loss of consciousness
- Severe headaches
- Vomiting or dizziness
- Confusion or memory loss
Our Neurosurgery Department at Apollo Hospital Jabalpur offers advanced brain imaging (CT/MRI scans), neurosurgical interventions, and intensive neurocritical care for severe head trauma cases across Jabalpur and Madhya Pradesh.
4. Spinal Cord Injury
Sudden trauma to the spine can cause paralysis, loss of sensation, or breathing difficulties. Spinal cord injuries require urgent medical care to prevent permanent disability.
- At Apollo Hospital Jabalpur, we provide:
- Emergency spine stabilization surgeries
- Rehabilitation for spinal injury recovery
- Advanced neurocritical care for spinal trauma patients from Mahakoshal and beyond
5. Brain Hemorrhage (Intracranial Bleeding)
A brain hemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel bursts inside the brain, leading to internal bleeding and swelling. This may be triggered by elevated blood pressure, injury, or aneurysms.
Symptoms of Brain Hemorrhage:
- Sudden severe headache
- Vomiting
- Weakness on one side of the body
- Loss of consciousness
Our neurosurgical team at Apollo Hospital Jabalpur provides emergency brain surgery, critical care monitoring, and specialized neuro-intensive care for patients from Jabalpur, Rewa, Satna, and surrounding areas.
6. Meningitis & Brain Infections
Meningitis is a serious infection that affects the brain and spinal cord membranes, caused by bacteria or viruses. If not treated immediately, it can lead to brain damage or death.
Signs of Meningitis:
- High fever
- Stiff neck
- Severe headache
- Sensitivity to light
- Confusion or seizures
We offer urgent diagnostic tests (spinal tap, blood tests) and emergency antibiotic treatment for patients in Jabalpur, Katni, Damoh and Sagar.
