Diseases of the nervous system cover a wide range of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. Many symptoms — from headache to forgetfulness, from dizziness to numbness and weakness — may require a neurological evaluation.

With his academic and clinical experience in neurology, Prof. Dr. Emin Özcan evaluates the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of adult patients in the light of scientific evidence.
