Neurogeriatric Area

Neurological diseases essentially include disorders affecting the central nervous system (such as cerebrovascular diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, other neurodegenerative diseases, and inflammatory or infectious conditions) and the peripheral nervous system (such as polyneuropathies, myasthenia, and myopathies).

The general aging of the population places neurological diseases (both vascular and degenerative) among the top concerns of the medical community. Stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and dementias are increasing rapidly, creating a sometimes unbearable burden of suffering for both patients and their families.

Other diseases, such as epilepsy, often manifest during childhood or adolescence. However, its incidence increases after the age of 40, with secondary epilepsy resulting from conditions such as tumors, ischemia, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, vascular malformations, and inflammatory brain diseases like vasculitis, meningitis, encephalitis, multiple sclerosis, or following trauma and/or cerebral hemorrhages.
