The majority of cases in neurology departments involve cerebrovascular disorders, commonly known as strokes. Depending on their causes, they are classified as ischemic or hemorrhagic. If stroke symptoms resolve within 24 hours (limb weakness, speech impairment, facial numbness), this means a transient cerebrovascular event has occurred. If symptoms persist beyond 24 hours, their resolution typically requires much more time, and disability may become permanent.

After a cerebrovascular event, a complete diagnostic workup must be performed in the neurology department to precisely identify the cause of the stroke, so that neurological treatment can be directed at reducing the probability of a subsequent stroke to zero. The exact cause of the stroke is identified — arterial hypertension, cardiac thrombus, rhythm disturbance, carotid artery occlusion, or brain aneurysm. At this stage, when the cause of the stroke is precisely known, complete blood pressure control is achieved, thrombus stabilization is performed, carotid artery revascularization is carried out, and under these new conditions, the development of a recurrent stroke becomes virtually impossible.

The Institute of Neurology establishes precise diagnoses of epilepsy, its forms and localizations, and depending on these, conservative and invasive therapies are administered that fully control seizure activity. The time to achieve complete disease control reaches 7-10 days under the supervision of epileptologists, with follow-up blood tests and electroencephalograms, restoring normal quality of life to the patient.
