Frequently Asked Questions.

Do I need a referral for neurology?

Self-referrals are welcome, though some insurers require prior authorization.

Can all strokes get thrombectomy?

Eligibility depends on imaging and time since onset. Perfusion imaging guides decisions up to 24 hours.

What if medications don’t control my epilepsy?

Drug-resistant epilepsy is evaluated for surgery, laser ablation, or neurostimulation.

Do you offer virtual visits?

Yes, follow-up for stable conditions and medication management is available via secure video.

What symptoms of stroke need emergency care?

Stroke symptoms need emergency care if they appear suddenly. Warning signs include face drooping, arm or leg weakness, trouble speaking, confusion, vision changes, loss of balance, severe headache, numbness on one side of the body, or difficulty walking. Call emergency services immediately, even if the symptoms improve.

What tests are used to diagnose neurological conditions?

Neurological conditions may be diagnosed with a physical and neurological exam, MRI, CT scan, blood tests, EEG, EMG, nerve conduction studies, lumbar puncture, or vascular imaging. The right test depends on the symptoms, suspected condition, and urgency of the case.

Is thrombectomy suitable for every stroke patient?

No. Thrombectomy is suitable only for selected ischemic stroke patients, usually when a large blood vessel in the brain is blocked and imaging shows that the procedure may help. It is not used for every stroke and is not suitable for all patients. The stroke team decides based on timing, scans, clot location, and the patient’s condition.

How do I choose a neurology hospital in Abu Dhabi?

Choose a neurology hospital in Abu Dhabi that offers emergency stroke care, advanced imaging such as CT and MRI, experienced neurologists, neurosurgery support, ICU care, rehabilitation, and treatment for complex neurological conditions. For stroke care, it is also important to check whether the hospital can provide rapid diagnosis and advanced treatments such as thrombectomy when appropriate.
