Neurology Clinic VI – specializing in neuromuscular diseases

If this is your first visit, please bring complete documentation from your general practitioner and from specialist examinations, as well as a list of medications currently taken by the patient. The outpatient clinic operates as a supraregional center for neuromuscular diseases, performing and indicating all necessary diagnostic examinations for early diagnosis, including complete electrodiagnostics, magnetic resonance imaging of peripheral nerves and muscles, testing for antibodies against neural and muscular antigens, as well as genetic diagnostics. The clinic provides follow-up care and treatment for patients with diseases of the peripheral nervous system, muscle diseases, and disorders of neuromuscular transmission. These include patients with hereditary, heredodegenerative, and acquired disorders. Autoimmune-related diseases hold a special place among these conditions. The clinic works closely with the Slovak Center for Neuromuscular Diseases in Bratislava-Ružinov, which provides complete nerve and muscle biopsy examinations, including histopathological, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic diagnostics. The clinic also cooperates with the Institute of Medical Biology, Genetics and Medical Genetics of the University Hospital Bratislava (UNB). In line with the latest guidelines, our center indicates immunomodulatory treatment for autoimmune neuromuscular diseases, intravenous and oral corticosteroid therapy, immunosuppressive treatment, intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, monoclonal antibody therapy, and therapeutic plasmapheresis. In cooperation with the Clinic of Thoracic Surgery of the Slovak Medical University in Bratislava and the Clinic of Thoracic Surgery of the University Hospital Martin (UNM), we indicate thymectomies for patients with myasthenia gravis.
