Neurology and Neurosurgery in Egypt
Coordinating brain, spine, and nerve care with experienced partner neurologists and neurosurgeons in Cairo
Hospitals Co Egypt coordinates neurology and neurosurgery care for international patients who choose to have their treatment performed in Cairo. We are a facilitator, not a hospital: we connect you with neurologists and neurosurgeons at our partner facilities, handle the paperwork and logistics around your trip, and stay in touch through recovery and follow-up. Every clinical decision is made by the treating specialist after reviewing your reports, not by our team.
Depending on your case, the treating team may be based at As-Salam International Hospital or another Class A facility in our network, such as Dar Al Fouad Hospital, with diagnostic imaging handled through named partner radiology centers. This page covers the conditions we most often coordinate, which reports to send first, how imaging is arranged, and how the process runs from your first message to your follow-up call back home.
Conditions and Procedures We Commonly Coordinate
Neurological and neurosurgical cases our partner specialists are commonly asked to assess, confirmed only after they review your file
Brain & Spinal Tumor Surgery
Surgical evaluation of tumors affecting the brain or spinal cord. The treating neurosurgeon reviews your imaging to decide whether surgery is appropriate, at times alongside our oncology care coordination.
Epilepsy Assessment
Evaluation of seizure activity, including a review of your history and any prior EEG results. The partner neurologist decides on further testing or a treatment plan after reviewing your case.
Stroke Follow-Up Care
Consultation for patients following a stroke who want an independent review of their recovery plan. The treating neurologist assesses your reports before advising on next steps.
Herniated Disc & Spinal Decompression
Assessment of disc problems and nerve compression in the spine. Whether decompression surgery or conservative treatment is right is decided by the neurosurgeon, often with our orthopedic spine team.
Movement-Disorder Consultations
Review of conditions affecting movement and coordination. The partner neurologist evaluates your symptoms and history to advise on further assessment or a management plan.
Nerve-Conduction & EMG Studies
Diagnostic testing of nerve and muscle function, arranged through our partner facilities once the treating neurologist confirms it is needed.
Which Medical Reports to Send
The reports our partner neurologists and neurosurgeons need before they can review your case
Brain or Spine MRI / CT
Your most recent brain or spine MRI or CT. Send the actual image files or discs when possible, not only the written report.
Neurologist Reports
Any existing reports from a neurologist or neurosurgeon who has assessed you, including notes on your symptoms, findings, and diagnosis so far.
EEG or EMG Results
Results from any EEG, EMG, or nerve-conduction studies you have already had, so tests are not repeated unnecessarily.
Current Medication List
A list of your current medications and dosages, along with related conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
How the Diagnostic Imaging Step Works
Coordinating brain and spine imaging with our named partner radiology centers
Many neurology and neurosurgery cases cannot be assessed from a written report alone. If you do not already have recent brain or spine imaging, or the specialist requests additional views, we can arrange this locally through partner imaging centers, including Al-Tahera Radiology Center, Egypt Radiology Center, and EGY Scan Center. The exact center is confirmed once the treating specialist tells us what is needed.
If your case also needs supporting bloodwork, such as a metabolic or infectious panel, we can arrange testing through our partner laboratories, including Al-Mokhtabar, Al Borg, and Al-Tayyeb. Results go directly to the treating specialist, who reviews them before confirming a diagnosis, treatment plan, or cost estimate. See our full partner network for more on the facilities we work with.
How the Process Works
From your first neurology reports to your follow-up call at home
Send Your Neurology Reports & Imaging
Submit your brain or spine MRI/CT, any neurologist reports, EEG or EMG results, and your medication list through our form or WhatsApp.
Neurologist Review
The partner neurologist or neurosurgeon reviews your case, may request more tests, and gives a professional opinion on your options.
Cost Estimate & Planning
Once the specialist confirms a plan, we provide a cost estimate and start arranging your travel dates.
Travel Preparation
We assist with visa requirements, flight timing, and accommodation booked near your treatment facility.
Treatment & Recovery
Your treatment is carried out at the partner facility, followed by the recovery period your specialist recommends before travel is safe.
Optional Tours
If cleared for light activity, we can arrange gentle sightseeing around your schedule, with accessible transport where needed. This is entirely optional.
Return Home & Follow-Up
We prepare your reports and coordinate remote follow-up between your treating specialist and your neurologist at home.
Timelines vary by condition and recovery. As a general guide, the full process from first consultation to treatment completion typically takes 2-6 weeks. See the full breakdown on our Patient Journey page.
Support We Provide
Practical support around your neurology care, from first opinion to life back home
Interpreter Support
Language support during consultations and hospital visits so you can discuss your care clearly with your specialist.
Report Translation
Translation of your reports and discharge summaries so your specialist and your doctor at home both work from documents they understand.
Accessible Accommodation
Accommodation arranged with accessibility needs in mind for patients with limited mobility, booked near your treatment facility.
Companion Support
Coordination for a travelling companion or caregiver, including accommodation and transport, so you have support throughout your visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about neurology and neurosurgery coordination in Egypt
How does a neurology consultation work if I'm not in Egypt?
You send us your brain or spine imaging and medical history through our form or WhatsApp. We forward it to the partner neurologist or neurosurgeon relevant to your case, who responds with their assessment and a cost estimate. Nothing is scheduled until they confirm the case in writing.
What brain or spine imaging do I need to send before a neurology consultation?
Typically your most recent brain or spine MRI or CT, ideally with the image files or discs, along with any neurologist reports, EEG or EMG results, and a medication list. The reviewing specialist will tell you if more tests are needed before a plan is confirmed.
Which hospitals in your network handle neurological and neurosurgical cases?
As-Salam International Hospital and other Class A facilities in our network coordinate neurology and neurosurgery cases, alongside named partner imaging centers such as Al-Tahera Radiology Center. We confirm the exact facility once your reports are reviewed and a plan is in place.
How long does neurological treatment in Egypt typically take?
Timelines depend on your condition, whether surgery is involved, and how recovery progresses, so the treating specialist sets your schedule. As a general guide, the full process from first consultation to treatment completion typically takes 2-6 weeks, including recovery days in Cairo.
Can you help arrange a second opinion for a neurological diagnosis I already have?
Yes. If you already have a diagnosis or treatment plan from a doctor at home, send us those reports and imaging and we will pass them to a partner neurologist or neurosurgeon for an independent review, to help confirm a plan or give you added confidence.
Ready to Discuss Your Neurology Case?
Send your brain or spine imaging, neurologist reports, and medical history to start a consultation with our partner neurologists and neurosurgeons. There is no obligation until you have a clear plan and cost estimate.
