Robert Maciunas M.D., Ph.D.


It’s surgery without scalpels or anesthesia and it’s changing the way doctors at the Neurological Institute at University Hospitals treat brain tumors. Gamma knife surgery is possibly the most remarkable development in brain surgery in the past 25 years. Radiosurgery focuses all the force of the x-rays onto the tumor itself, sparing the surrounding brain tissue, minimizing the side effects and any risk of complications.
Warren Selman, M.D.
 
A ruptured aneurysm can lead to stroke, brain damage, and death. It’s not as common as the kind of stroke that most patients have when they don’t have enough blood flow to the brain, but it is far more devastating. Through individualized care provided by a team of highly trained specialists, the Neurological Institute is able to treat these complex cases.
Bashar Katirji, M.D.
 
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) affects nerves and the limbs. It is caused by an autoimmune attack on these nerves. Proper diagnosis can lead to the correct treatment: either immune drugs that suppress immunity or periodic infusions with intravenous immunoglobulin.
Brian Maddux, M.D., Ph.D.
 
Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the brain characterized by shaking (tremor) and difficulty with walking, movement, and coordination. The disease is associated with damage to a part of the brain that is involved with movement. The experts at UH can help Parkinson’s patients improve their quality of life through medication and/or a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation.
David E. Riley, M.D.
 
Spasmodic dysphonia is a neurological disorder causing involuntary "spasms" of the vocal cords. The disorder can cause the voice to break up or to give the voice a tight, strained or strangled quality. It is treated with botox injections into the muscles controlling the vocal cord. Botox allows the muscles to relax.
Mary Ann Werz, M.D., Ph.D.
Epilepsy isn’t a single disease with a single treatment. It is actually a group of disorders which temporarily impairs brain function. That is why the Neurological Institute at University Hospitals provides patients with individualized care through a team of specialists.
