About This Department

Neurosciences in Dehradun

The Neurosciences Department at MS Galaxy Hospital is Uttarakhand's first and most experienced neurosurgical centre, established in 1994 by Dr. Mahesh Kuriyal. Over three decades, our MCh-qualified neurosurgeons have performed over 4,000 brain and spine operations — giving patients across Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Western UP access to world-class neurological care without travelling to Delhi or Mumbai.

We treat the complete range of brain, spine and nervous system disorders — from brain tumours and cerebrovascular emergencies to complex spinal problems, hydrocephalus and head injuries. Our department is equipped with a dedicated Neuro-ICU, 24×7 CT Scan, and an emergency neurosurgical response team.

Conditions & Treatments We Offer

Brain Tumour Surgery

We perform surgery for all types of brain tumours — glioma, meningioma, pituitary adenoma, acoustic neuroma and metastatic tumours. Early diagnosis through our 24×7 CT Scan and MRI guidance allows precise, minimal-damage surgery.

Spine Surgery

Disc prolapse, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, vertebral fractures and spinal cord compression — our spine surgeons offer both microsurgical open and minimally invasive approaches.

Stroke & Cerebrovascular Disease

Stroke is a medical emergency. Our 24×7 CT Scan and neurosurgical team ensure that patients with stroke, brain haemorrhage and AVM receive immediate diagnosis and treatment.

Head Injury & Trauma

Road accidents, falls and workplace injuries. Our emergency neurosurgical team is available 24×7 for traumatic brain injury, skull fractures and intracranial haematoma evacuation.

Hydrocephalus

Excess fluid in the brain — treated by VP Shunt surgery or Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV), available for both children and adults.

Epilepsy & Seizures

For medically refractory epilepsy, surgical evaluation and intervention is available. We also work closely with neurology for medical management of seizure disorders.

Trigeminal Neuralgia

One of the most severe pain conditions — we offer microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery for permanent relief from facial nerve pain.

Peripheral Nerve Surgery

Carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve entrapment, brachial plexus injuries and peripheral nerve tumours.
