Neuro-Infections
Surgical drainage of abscesses and management of spinal and epidural infections. Enhanced antibiotic regimens and aggressive wound care protocols specifically designed for high-risk patients with compromised healing, ensuring optimal recovery and prevention of recurrence.
Image-Guided Abscess Drainage
Using CT or MRI-guided stereotactic navigation, we perform precise aspiration of brain and spinal epidural abscesses through a single, small burr hole with minimal collateral damage.
Open Craniotomy for Granulomas & Cysticercosis
For thick-walled, multiloculated abscesses or tuberculomas, we perform open microsurgical excision, completely removing the infectious capsule without rupturing it and spilling contents.
Rapid Microbiological Diagnostics
We maintain direct liaison with high-grade microbiology labs for rapid culture, antibiotic sensitivity, and PCR-based identification of atypical pathogens, ensuring targeted antimicrobial therapy.
External Ventricular Drain (EVD) & Ventricular Irrigation
For severe ventriculitis, we place an EVD to drain infected CSF and perform intraventricular antibiotic instillation to rapidly sterilize the ventricular system.
Management of Post-Infectious Hydrocephalus
For chronic infections leading to loculated hydrocephalus, we perform endoscopic fenestration of septations or place VP shunts once the CSF is sterile.
Prolonged Antibiotic Stewardship
Our infectious disease specialists design prolonged, high-dose intravenous antibiotic/antifungal regimens with weekly monitoring of CSF parameters to confirm microbiological cure before discharge.
