Successful Treatment of Recurrent Seizures Due to Brain Parasite at Geetanjali Hospital, Udaipur

A 57-year-old male patient from Pali district had been suffering from frequent and uncontrolled seizures for a prolonged period. Despite receiving treatment from various private hospitals in Jodhpur, Pali, Sumerpur, and Ahmedabad, there was no improvement in his condition. The seizures occurred multiple times a day and were not responding to medication.

Upon arrival at Geetanjali Hospital, Udaipur, the patient was examined by Dr. Nishant Ashwani, a specialist in the Neurology Department. After admission, an MRI brain scan was conducted, which revealed the presence of multiple parasitic infections in the brain (Neurocysticercosis). This condition is commonly caused by consuming contaminated water, undercooked vegetables, or undercooked meat.

These brain parasites can lead to severe neurological complications, including epileptic seizures. Considering the critical condition and continuous seizures, the patient was admitted and managed under a scientific protocol. The team of neurologists at Geetanjali Hospital re-optimized his medications to achieve better seizure control.

Following the treatment, the patient’s seizures were completely controlled, and his overall condition significantly improved. He is now on anti-parasitic medication along with anti-seizure drugs and is under regular follow-up in the OPD with stable health.

Geetanjali Hospital is a tertiary care multi-super specialty hospital, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and advanced technology in its Neurosciences Department, providing effective treatment for even the most complex neurological conditions on a continuous basis.
