Electrophysiology unit

ABOUT US

The Mansoura electrophysiology unit is a part of the neurology department at Mansoura University Hospitals, and the new division will be at the new specialized center.

The vision of the unit is to promote the highest quality patient-centered neurologic care in various neurological disorders. They also aid other specialized centers to reach their final diagnoses and guide their surgical interventions like orthopedic, neurosurgery, and cardiothoracic centers

We work mainly on electrophysiological diagnosis including the following cases;

  • Epilepsy and epileptic syndromes
  • Peripheral nerve disorders (Guillain Barrie syndrome and chronic inflammatory forms, inherited and acquired forms).
  • Muscle diseases like muscle dystrophy diagnosis, myotonic patients, inflammatory muscle diseases
  • Floppy infant diagnosis and we are doing our best for SMA In Presidential Muscular Dystrophy Initiative
  • Patient with fatigability symptoms for detection of any myasthenic findings
  • In multiple sclerosis patient for detection of optic neuritis, auditory affection for dissemination in space
  • Patient with AHCs affection like those with ALS, PLS and SMA
  • Evaluation of the sleep architecture and diagnosis of sleep disorders

 

Inpatient service

Our unit is serving all hospitals of Mansoura University specially these following departments;

  • Neurology ( peripheral nerve disorders, muscle disease, AHCs affection, NMJ, MS….etc)
  • Neurosurgery (surgical entrapment neuropathy, TOS, post traumatic injury.. etc)
  • Orthopedics ( canal stenosis, surgical disc , post traumatic injury… etc)
  • Pediatric ( floppy infant diagnosis.. etc)
  • Cardiothoracic ( myasthenic patients who are prepared for thymectomy )
  • Internal medicine ( neuropathy with metabolic association)
  • Also, it is very important in helping researches all over the Mansoura University from neurological specialties’, chest, and other specialties’. )

Outpatient services: Provide financially supported service to hundreds of patients monthly

We receive patients from:

  • Neurology outpatient clinic of Mansoura University
  • Outpatient clinics of all other specialties’
  • Referred patients from other clinics or hospitals all over DAKAHLEYA government and nearby areas
