In 1959, when this hospital was first built, the Section
of Neuropsychiatry was originally under the Department of Medicine
and the Section of Neurosurgery was under the Department of Surgery.
In 1975, the Section of Neuropsychiatry became an independent
department, i.e. the Department of Neuropsychiatry and in 1983,
this department further divided into two departments, the Department
of Neurology and the Department of Psychiatry. Through the dedication
of Dr. Albert Ly-Young Shen the Neurological Institute was first
born in January 1st, 1989 by merging the Department of Neurology
and the Section of Neurosurgery. The Neurological Institute is
composed of two major departments, the Neurological and Neurosurgical
Departments: |
| |
The Neurological Department has four divisions, including
General Neurology; Neurovascular Neurology; Peripheral Neurology;
and Epilepsy. Specialized facilities such as neuropsychological
examinations, electroencephalography (EEG), video-EEG monitoring,
electromyography (EMG), sensory evoked potentials, transcranial
magnetic stimulation, hemodynamic test, cerebrovascular ultrasonography,
neuromuscular pathology and neurogenetic/ neuroimmunological
tests are available in the Neurological Department for the evaluation
of the nervous system disorders. |
| |
The Neurosurgical Department has four divisions, including
General Neurosurgery; Functional Neurosurgery; Pediatric
Neurosurgery; and Neural Regeneration and Repair, and one
Neurological Intensive Care Unit (NCU). In addition to routine
neurosurgical services for cerebrospinal lesions, the introduction
of the Gamma-Knife allows for another options for skull base
tumors as well as vascular malformations . The Neurosurgical
Department also offers epileptic surgeries for selected patients
with intractable seizures. New monitoring systems have been
developed and applied to patients with increased intracranial
pressure or critical conditions after major brain surgery
or head injury in NCU. The Division of Neural Regeneration
and Repair provides new hope for the treatment of cervical
cord trauma, thoracic-lumbar cord trauma, brachial plexus
injury and common peroneal nerve injury. |
