Advanced clinical care for focal and generalized seizures, drug-resistant epilepsy pathways, and pre-surgical evaluations in New Delhi.
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. A seizure is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain, affecting sensory pathways, muscle movement, and awareness. Dr. Rajneesh Kummar focuses on accurate subtyping to distinguish seizures from non-epileptic conditions (such as syncope or psychogenic episodes).
Achieving seizure control requires meticulous evaluation:
We employ specialized 3-Tesla Epilepsy Protocol MRI scans to identify structural causes of seizure onset, such as mesial temporal sclerosis, focal cortical dysplasias, or cavernomas.
We evaluate brainwave activity via digital electroencephalography (EEG), sleeping-deprived EEGs, and prolonged Video-EEG monitoring to capture episodes and map structural focuses.
Most patients achieve control through customized anti-seizure medication (ASM) plans. Dr. Kummar emphasizes selecting medications that match the patient's lifestyle, gender, and age, while minimizing cognitive side-effects.
For patients whose seizures persist despite trials of two or more appropriate medications, we conduct evaluations for epilepsy surgery. By localizing the seizure focus through functional scans, neuropsychological tests, and Video-EEGs, we determine candidates for targeted surgical resection.
