Udaipur — Geetanjali Medical College & Hospital has recorded another remarkable milestone in the field of neurology. A 27-year-old patient from Sirohi, who had been battling Silent Seizures for the last five years, finally found hope and healing at Geetanjali’s state-of-the-art Neurosciences Centre.
For half a decade, the young patient suffered from cryptic, non-convulsive seizures — brief episodes of unresponsiveness, involuntary limb movements, and near-miss injuries from hot objects or obstacles while walking. Despite the absence of clear abnormalities on conventional MRI scans, the symptoms continued to escalate, leaving the family distressed and desperate for answers.
Seeking advanced care, the family reached Geetanjali Hospital, where Senior Neurologist & Epileptologist Dr. Anees Jukkarwala led a comprehensive diagnostic workup. Using cutting-edge modalities including 3-Tesla MRI, Video EEG Monitoring, and PET-CT Neuroimaging, the team successfully localized the epileptogenic focus to the left medial temporal region of the brain. Neuropsychological assessment further confirmed that the patient was a suitable candidate for epilepsy surgery.
Geetanjali’s skilled neurosurgery team then performed a precision-driven Epilepsy Surgery, targeting the exact seizure-generating zone. The operation was a resounding success, bringing an end to the patient’s prolonged neurological turmoil.
The case stands as a powerful example of how advanced neuroimaging and multidisciplinary expertise can identify seizure origins even when structural lesions are not visible on routine MRI.
Today, the patient is fully stable — free from the silent episodes that once shadowed his daily life — and stepping into a future illuminated by renewed confidence and clarity.
