Carolina Orthopaedic & Neurological Associates (CONA) provides advanced diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of brain disorders, including epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, hydrocephalus, and congenital brain malformations. Our team of experienced neurology and neurosurgery specialists combines clinical expertise with compassionate care, helping patients restore function, reduce symptoms, and improve their quality of life.
Understanding the Brain Disorders Treated At CONA
Brain disorders can affect the brain, skull, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, leading to symptoms that interfere with movement, sensation, cognition, and daily life. At CONA, we treat complex neurological conditions such as epilepsy and seizure disorders, neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease, fluid buildup in the brain caused by hydrocephalus, and congenital malformations present from birth. Each patient receives an individualized treatment plan designed to address their specific diagnosis and needs, ensuring the most effective care possible.
Advanced Neurosurgical Care for Complex Brain Conditions
When nonsurgical treatments are not enough, our neurosurgical team offers advanced surgical options to address brain disorders. For epilepsy, this may include procedures like temporal lobectomy or lesion removal. For other brain disorders, we provide specialized neurovascular interventions and surgical solutions designed to relieve pressure, restore normal function, and improve overall neurological health. Every surgical recommendation is made after careful consideration of the patient’s medical history, current health, and long-term goals.
Epilepsy Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment Options
Epilepsy is a chronic brain condition characterized by recurrent seizures, which occur due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Symptoms may include uncontrollable muscle movements, staring spells, sudden confusion, unusual sensations, or brief lapses in awareness. Some patients may experience warning signs, known as auras, before a seizure begins. The causes of epilepsy vary and may include head injury, stroke, infections, genetic factors, or developmental disorders.
Our approach to epilepsy care begins with a thorough neurological evaluation, often including diagnostic testing such as electroencephalograms (EEGs) and advanced brain imaging. Based on these findings, we create a personalized treatment plan that may involve anti-seizure medications, neurostimulation therapies like Vagus Nerve Stimulation, dietary approaches such as the ketogenic diet, or, in some instances, surgery to remove the area of the brain where seizures originate. We place a strong emphasis on long-term follow-up, patient education, and lifestyle modifications to help manage seizures effectively.
