Brain Cyst Treatment in Town Hospital
About the clinic
Brain cyst evaluation and treatment at Town Hospital in Fifth Settlement, New Cairo, Egypt, includes advanced imaging and neurosurgical options. The neurosurgery department is led by Prof. Dr. Osama El Ghannam, who has over 25 years of experience and founded Egypt’s first specialized neurosurgery center.
Brain cyst diagnostics with 3-Tesla MRI
On-site imaging supports diagnosis and surgical planning. MRI and CT services are available 24 hours a day.
- 3-Tesla MRI: Provides brain images used to assess cysts and plan surgery.
- 128-slice CT: Offers another way to image the brain.
- Digital X-ray and 4D ultrasound: Additional imaging services available at the hospital.
- EEG and EMG: Tests that assess electrical activity in the brain and nerves.
- 24-hour laboratory and radiology: On-site services support diagnostic assessment.
Neurosurgical options for brain cysts
The treatment plan depends on the cyst and whether it blocks cerebrospinal fluid flow. The department uses microsurgical methods and neuro-navigation for complex brain procedures.
- Microsurgical brain surgery: Uses navigation and a microscope to reach and remove or open lesions while protecting nearby tissue.
- Endoscopic surgery: Creates an opening inside the brain so fluid can pass. In selected cases, this can avoid a shunt; suitability depends on the cause of the blockage.
- CSF shunt placement: A thin tube and valve drain fluid from the brain to another part of the body. This can relieve raised pressure and requires long-term follow-up.

Accreditations and Achievements
The hospital holds accreditations from ESMO and ASCO. It is also recognized among Leading Hospitals. Town Hospital was the first facility in Egypt to perform stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) for drug-resistant epilepsy.
Neurosurgery and Neurology
Professor Dr. Osama El Ghannam heads the neurosurgery department. The team uses microsurgical and neuro-navigation techniques for complex brain and spine procedures. Specialists treat various conditions:
- Drug-resistant epilepsy using the SEEG program
- Brain and central nervous system tumors
- Pituitary adenomas via endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery
- Herniated discs and chronic spine pain
- Aneurysm coiling and vascular interventions
The epilepsy program brings together Egyptian and Indian specialists, including Dr. Nitchan and Dr. Ahmed El-Qeai. For facial nerve palsy, the hospital reports an 85% full recovery rate when treatment begins within 72 hours. A dedicated EEG and EMG unit supports neurology services for precise nerve damage assessment.
Cardiology and Vascular Care
The cardiology department covers everything from diagnostic evaluation to long-term follow-up. Physicians manage hypertension, valve disease, and vascular disorders. A Philips bi-plane cath-lab supports coronary and cerebral interventions. Vascular specialists treat varicose veins using endovenous radiofrequency ablation (EVRF) and laser techniques.
Diagnostic Technologies
Town Hospital has an on-site diagnostic center available 24 hours a day. High-resolution imaging supports accurate surgical planning. Key equipment includes:
- 3-Tesla MRI
- 128-slice CT scanner
- Digital X-ray and 4D ultrasound
- 24-hour Holter monitoring and stress ECG
- Electromyography (EMG) and EEG for nerve studies
Operating theaters use capsulated theatre concepts to meet international infection control standards. Digital ID pass controls and restricted entry protocols protect critical overnight service areas.
Services for International Patients
A dedicated team assists patients from Libya, Saudi Arabia, and other regions. Patients can receive a remote medical evaluation via WhatsApp before traveling. This includes a review of medical reports and scans to provide a preliminary treatment plan. Multilingual online appointment booking helps streamline the arrival process.
