Neurology

Our Neurology Emergency Clinic at Meilahti Tower Hospital is the only unit in HUS, where demanding treatment and diagnostics, including the thrombolytic therapy for cerebral infarction, can be implemented 24 hours a day throughout the year.

Approximately 80% of the patients on our neurological inpatient wards are admitted from the emergency clinic. The wards for demanding neurological rehabilitation admit patients directly from inpatient care. At the Neurology Emergency Clinic in Meilahti, we offer Telestroke consultation to professionals in the central and regional hospitals.

Our neurology outpatient clinics in Meilahti, Laakso, Jorvi, and Peijas are responsible for specialist medical outpatient care in the Helsinki University Hosptial Area and for demanding specialised medical outpatient care in HUS. Our special outpatient clinics are the Brain Injury Clinic and the Rehabilitation Evaluation Unit (Paciuksenkatu 21).
 
In the HUS region, for example, the pre-operative assessment for deep-brain stimulation of patients with Parkinson's disease and the programming of the DBS device after the procedure, as well as epilepsy surgery assessments and post-operative care have been centralized at Meilahti Tower Hospital. Demanding diagnostics of neuroimmunological and neuromuscular diseases has also been centralized in Meilahti. A referral for these services can also be made from outside the Uusimaa region.
