Specialty Clinics

Neuro-interventional program

The Neuro-interventional program at MGMCH is a specialized medical initiative focused on using minimally invasive procedures to treat disorders of the brain, spine, and vascular system. Utilizing advanced imaging, neuro-interventional techniques aim to diagnose and intervene in conditions such as aneurysms, strokes, and other neurovascular diseases for improved patient outcomes.

Thrombolytic Therapy

Thrombolytic therapy at MGMCH is a medical treatment that involves the administration of drugs to dissolve blood clots, particularly in the treatment of conditions such as heart attacks and ischemic strokes. These drugs, known as thrombolytics, help restore blood flow by breaking down the clot and preventing further damage to vital organs.

Botulinum toxin therapy

Botulinum toxin therapy is a medical treatment provided by MGMCH that involves injecting a purified form of the botulinum toxin to temporarily paralyze or weaken muscles. It is used for cosmetic purposes to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, as well as for medical conditions such as muscle spasms and certain neurological disorders.

Cerebral Angiography

Cerebral angiography is a medical imaging procedure performed by experts at MGMCH that involves injecting a contrast dye into blood vessels to visualize the arteries and veins in the brain. This diagnostic technique helps identify abnormalities, such as aneurysms or blockages, providing valuable insights for neurosurgeons and other healthcare professionals in the evaluation of cerebral blood flow.
