Derick was diagnosed with severe Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy five years ago in his native country Tanzania. His symptoms included declining cognitive functioning, stunted brain development and frequent violent seizures. Dr. Siddharth Kharkar, Consultant Neurologist and Dr. Sudheer Ambekar, Consultant Neurosurgeon, diagnosed him with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome and started IV steroids which improved the patient’s EEG. Derick underwent a Vagus Nerve Stimulator Implantation Surgery to stop sudden, long seizures which affected his brain and other vital organs. As a result, his cognitive and motor functioning improved substantially. At Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, patient care is provided by experienced professionals and sophisticated technology.
