Electroencephalography (EEG), evoked potentials and transcranial doppler (vascular) studies are among the services performed in the hospital's Neurosciences Laboratory. Intraoperative monitoring utilizing these tests to help ensure continuing nerve function during spinal and brain surgery, is scheduled through the Neurosciences Laboratory. Neurointerventional neurologists offer treatment options for aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), acute stroke, and other vascular diseases of the central nervous system. Electromyography (EMG) may be performed in the specialists' office to diagnose a variety of nerve and muscle disorders. Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX) may be administered here as well.
