When it comes to neurological symptoms, time and timely evaluation matter. Manipal Hospitals, introduces the Urgent Neurology Clinic, a fast-track outpatient service. This is designed to offer same-day consultations for patients experiencing sudden or concerning neurological symptoms. This clinic bridges the gap between standard OPD appointments and full-scale emergency care, helping patients receive immediate expert assessment without delay or panic.

The clinic is designed for sudden-onset or rapidly worsening symptoms that may not require emergency admission, but still need immediate expert evaluation.
Common concerns include:
Severe or sudden headaches
Sudden dizziness or vertigo
Tingling, numbness, or limb weakness
Seizures (first-time or known epilepsy flare-ups)
Sudden memory loss or confusion
Imbalance or gait disturbance
Facial deviation or slurred speech
Suspected Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA/mini-stroke)
Worsening neurological symptoms in chronic patients (e.g. Parkinson’s, MS)
When to Seek Consultation
Not every neurological issue is an emergency, but many shouldn’t wait.
Visit the Urgent Neuro Clinic if you or your loved one:
Is experiencing new, unexplained neurological symptoms
Has a known neurological condition with sudden changes
Needs a neurologist’s opinion on a worsening issue, the same day
Isn’t sure whether to wait for an OPD slot or visit the Emergency
This clinic gives you that safe middle ground, immediate access, expert evaluation, and peace of mind.
While this clinic is primarily diagnostic and consultative, it offers:
On-the-spot neurological examination: Patients are assessed by senior neurologists through a detailed neurological evaluation. This includes motor function, reflexes, balance, coordination, speech, vision, and cognition. This helps determine if the symptom is mild, moderate, or an early sign of something more serious.
Guidance on hospitalisation if required: If the evaluation reveals a condition that requires inpatient care, such as seizures, signs of stroke, or progressive neurological decline, the neurologist will initiate the admission process immediately. They ensure a smooth transition to the appropriate department without delay.
Access to Same-Day Diagnostics: Patients seen at the clinic can access MRI, CT scans, and lab investigations on the same day, based on clinical need. This enables fast and accurate diagnosis, often within hours of the initial consult, which is critical in neurology.
Referrals to other specialists (if needed): If your condition requires support from other departments (such as Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Endocrinology, or Neurosurgery), the clinic facilitates direct and quick referrals, often on the same day. This avoids repeated hospital visits.
Prescription of medications or follow-up plans: Based on the diagnosis, the neurologist may start treatment immediately, prescribing medications, advising rest, or initiating preventive care. You’ll also receive clear follow-up instructions, including when to return or consult another specialist.
Coordination with Emergency Services: If a patient's condition worsens during the clinic visit, such as suspected stroke or loss of consciousness, they are immediately shifted to the Emergency Department. The clinic is located close to the ER, ensuring zero delay in escalation.
This approach makes the Urgent Neuro Clinic a safe, efficient. The structured option for those seeking quick clarity and early intervention without the uncertainty of waiting or the stress of ER triage.
