Treatment of neurological diseases in Israel
K.R.V Medical Group organizes diagnostics and treatment for neurological and neurosurgical patients at Sheba, Ichilov and Assuta. We help with brain and spinal cord tumors, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke and chronic pain syndromes. Treatments include stereotactic Gamma Knife radiosurgery, DBS (deep brain stimulation), intraoperative neuromonitoring, awake craniotomy and neuronavigation.
Why Israel
- Sheba's neurosurgery — one of the region's largest centers — performs over 1,500 brain and spine operations a year.
- Gamma Knife and Cyberknife stereotactic radiosurgery are available for brain tumors, metastases, schwannomas and AVMs.
- DBS programs for Parkinson's disease and essential tremor — with individual stimulator tuning.
- Modern MS diagnostics: 3T MRI, oligoclonal antibodies, immunomodulatory therapy.

Frequently asked questions
What is Gamma Knife and who is it for?▾
Gamma Knife is stereotactic radiosurgery that irradiates a tumor or vascular malformation with a highly precise beam of gamma rays in a single session, without an incision. It is used for brain metastases, meningiomas, acoustic neuromas and small AVMs.
Is DBS surgery available in Israel?▾
Yes. Sheba and Ichilov implant deep brain stimulation systems for Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and dystonia. The procedure is performed in two stages with intraoperative testing.
How much does brain tumor treatment cost?▾
Brain tumor removal at major neurosurgery centers — from $38,000 turnkey. Gamma Knife — from $22,000 per session. The final price depends on location, size and accompanying treatment.
Can MS therapy be selected?▾
Yes. Neurologists at Sheba and Ichilov perform extended diagnostics and select modern drugs — Ocrelizumab, Natalizumab, Cladribine — based on the type and activity of MS.
Is awake craniotomy performed?▾
Yes. For tumors in language and motor areas, surgery is performed with the patient awake and with intraoperative neuromonitoring to preserve function.
