Specialist in Epilepsy Treatment

Epilepsy is a disturbance of the central nervous system (a neurological condition) in which there is an abnormality in the activity of the brain, which can cause seizures or periods of odd behaviour, sensations, and sometimes loss of awareness.

Anything that interrupts the normal connections between nerve cells in the brain can cause a seizure. This includes a high fever, high or low blood sugar, alcohol or drug withdrawal, or a brain concussion. But when a person has 2 or more seizures with no known cause, this is diagnosed as epilepsy.

Based on how and where the abnormal brain activity begins, seizures are classified either as focal or generalized.

Dr Vikram Kishore Reddy MBBS, DNB (Pediatrics), DNB (Neurology) is the best neurologist in Nizampet. He has successfully diagnosed and treated many people suffering with epilepsy over the course of his career.

Dr Vikram will first diagnose your condition by reviewing your symptoms and your medical history. He may order several tests like EEG, CT scans, MRI, fMRI, PET etc to detect any abnormalities in your brain.

In cases of epileptic patients, Dr Vikram conducts these tests to identify changes in the normal pattern of brain waves. This will help the doctor in determining what kind of seizures you’re having and rule out other conditions.

Epilepsy can generally be treated by medications, however, finding the right medication can be a complex process. Dr Vikram will consider the frequency of seizures, your age and other factors when choosing which medications to prescribe.

If medications fail to provide you relief from your symptoms, surgery may be an option. Regardless of your condition, Dr Vikram will make sure you understand the complete process so you can make a well-informed decision regarding your treatment.
