Neurology
At St. Marc Medical and Diagnostic Center, our Neurology Department is dedicated to the diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Using advanced diagnostic tools and a compassionate, patient-centered approach, our neurologists work to uncover the root cause of neurological symptoms and provide accurate, timely care tailored to everyone’s needs.
Video EEG Monitoring – Achrafieh
Video EEG Monitoring – Achrafieh
Video EEG (Electroencephalogram) Monitoring is an advanced neurological diagnostic test that combines continuous EEG brainwave recording with synchronized video monitoring to evaluate brain activity and physical symptoms in real time. At St. Marc Medical Center in Achrafieh, our Video EEG testing helps neurologists accurately diagnose epilepsy, seizure disorders, and other neurological conditions affecting the brain and nervous system.
A Video EEG is commonly recommended for patients experiencing:
- Recurrent seizures or suspected epilepsy
- Unexplained fainting episodes or blackouts
- Sudden loss of awareness or confusion
- Muscle jerking, twitching, or abnormal movements
- Sleep-related neurological events
- Episodes of staring spells or behavioral changes
- Memory loss associated with neurological symptoms
- Non-epileptic seizures or unexplained neurological episodes
During the Video EEG procedure, electrodes are gently placed on the scalp to continuously record electrical brain activity while a high-definition video system monitors the patient’s movements, behavior, and physical responses. This real-time correlation between EEG brainwave patterns and visible symptoms allows specialists to identify seizure activity with greater accuracy and differentiate epileptic seizures from non-epileptic events.
Our Video EEG monitoring supports the diagnosis and management of:
- Epilepsy and seizure disorders
- Focal and generalized seizures
- Non-epileptic seizure events
- Sleep-related neurological disorders
- Brainwave abnormalities
- Neurological episodes with unclear causes
Video EEG is also an essential diagnostic tool for:
- Pre-surgical epilepsy evaluations
- Long-term seizure monitoring
- Neurological treatment adjustments
- Anti-epileptic medication assessment
- Personalized treatment planning and follow-up care
At St. Marc Medical Center, our experienced neurology team uses advanced Video EEG technology to provide accurate neurological diagnosis, continuous patient monitoring, and comprehensive care in a safe and comfortable environment.
EMG (Electromyography) Test – Achrafieh & Zalka
EMG (Electromyography) Test – Achrafieh & Zalka
Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) are advanced diagnostic tests used to evaluate muscle activity, nerve function, and neuromuscular health. At St. Marc Medical Center, our EMG specialists in Achrafieh and Zalka provide accurate EMG testing to help diagnose conditions affecting the muscles, nerves, and spinal nerve roots.
An EMG test is commonly recommended for patients experiencing symptoms such as:
- Muscle weakness or muscle pain
- Numbness or tingling in the hands, arms, legs, or feet
- Burning sensations or nerve pain
- Muscle cramps, twitching, or spasms
- Sciatica and lower back pain radiating to the legs
- Neck pain associated with nerve compression
- Carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms
- Peripheral neuropathy or nerve injuries
- Difficulty moving muscles or loss of coordination
During the EMG procedure, small electrodes are placed on the skin and, when needed, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. The nerve conduction study evaluates how quickly and effectively electrical signals travel through the nerves. The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and performed by experienced EMG specialists to ensure precise diagnosis and patient comfort.
Our EMG and nerve conduction testing supports the diagnosis and monitoring of:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Sciatica and pinched nerves
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Cervical and lumbar radiculopathy
- Muscle disorders and myopathies
- Neuromuscular diseases
- Nerve compression syndromes
- Facial nerve disorders and other nerve injuries
At St. Marc Medical Center, we combine advanced EMG technology with expert neurological assessment to provide reliable results and personalized treatment guidance for every patient.
Our Neurology Department combines clinical expertise with advanced technology to ensure thorough, accurate diagnosis and personalized care, helping patients manage and overcome neurological challenges with confidence.
