Frequently Asked Questions
In practice, there is no difference: “neuropathologist” is an outdated term, while “neurologist” is the term used in modern medical practice. This specialist is responsible for diagnosing, treating, and providing follow-up care for disorders of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
To book an appointment with a neurologist, you may call 89 00 or visit Nairi Medical Center at 21 Paronyan Street, Yerevan. If you have results of previous examinations, medical reports, or laboratory tests, it is advisable to bring them with you on the day of your visit.
At Nairi Medical Center, neurological consultations and treatment for children are not provided by a neurologist. Neurological conditions in children are generally managed by a pediatric neurologist. If the issue concerns a child’s development, seizures, headaches, sleep disturbances, or motor or behavioral changes, it is recommended to consult an appropriate pediatric specialist.
Home visits by specialists are not provided at Nairi Medical Center. To receive a neurology consultation, it is necessary to schedule an appointment in advance and visit the medical center. This is also important because additional diagnostic tests may be required during the neurological evaluation, and these are performed in a clinical setting.
A neurologist evaluates and diagnoses a wide range of neurological conditions, including headache syndromes, migraine, neuropathies, radiculopathies, neurological complications of osteochondrosis, motor and sensory disturbances, consequences of cerebrovascular disorders, seizure syndromes, and other neurological diseases.
Depending on the clinical picture, a neurologist may recommend brain or spine MRI, CT, electroencephalography, electroneuromyography, duplex vascular ultrasound, laboratory tests, and other additional investigations. The choice of tests depends on the symptoms, their duration, the findings of the neurological examination, and any coexisting medical conditions.
