At ShardaCare – Healthcity, Greater Noida, our Epilepsy care team provides specialised evaluation and management for patients experiencing seizures and epilepsy-related conditions.

As part of our advanced Neurosciences services, our specialists focus on accurate diagnosis, identifying possible causes, developing personalised treatment plans, and supporting long-term neurological health.

Our multidisciplinary approach brings together expertise from Neurology, Neurosurgery, Stroke, Stroke Rehabilitation, Movement Disorders, Paediatric Neurology, and Interventional Neuroradiology to provide comprehensive neurological care.

What is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterised by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

Seizures can affect different parts of the brain and may present in various ways, depending on the area involved. A detailed neurological evaluation helps specialists understand the type of seizure and determine the most suitable management approach.

Epilepsy care involves:

• Evaluation of seizure symptoms

• Identifying possible causes and triggers

• Selecting appropriate treatment options

• Monitoring response to treatment

• Providing long-term neurological support

Each patient’s epilepsy management plan is personalised according to their condition and healthcare needs.

Understanding Seizures

A seizure is a temporary change in brain activity that may affect movement, awareness, sensations, behaviour, or other functions.

Seizure symptoms can vary and may include:

• Sudden changes in awareness

• Uncontrolled movements

• Changes in sensation

• Temporary confusion

• Unusual behaviours or responses

A single seizure does not always mean a person has epilepsy. Specialist evaluation is important for accurate diagnosis.

Comprehensive Epilepsy Care

Epilepsy management may require collaboration between multiple neurological specialties. At ShardaCare – Healthcity, our Neurosciences team provides coordinated care through a multidisciplinary approach.

Epilepsy

The Epilepsy team evaluates seizure disorders through detailed clinical assessment, diagnostic evaluation, and personalised treatment planning.

Management decisions depend on factors such as seizure type, frequency, medical history, and individual patient needs.

Neurology

Neurology plays a central role in epilepsy diagnosis and management.

Neurologists evaluate seizure patterns, review medical history, interpret diagnostic findings, and recommend appropriate treatment strategies.

Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery may be considered for selected patients with epilepsy who require surgical evaluation after detailed assessment.

Neurosurgeons and neurologists collaborate to determine suitable treatment approaches when surgery may be appropriate.

Stroke

Stroke can sometimes be associated with neurological changes that may include seizures.

Patients with stroke-related neurological concerns may require evaluation and management by neuroscience specialists.

Stroke Rehabilitation

Stroke Rehabilitation supports patients recovering from neurological changes after stroke, including challenges affecting movement, coordination, and daily functioning.

Movement Disorders

Movement Disorders involve conditions affecting movement control and coordination.

Neurological assessment helps differentiate movement-related symptoms from seizure-related concerns when required.

Paediatric Neurology

Paediatric Neurology provides specialised epilepsy care for infants, children, and adolescents.

Children require age-specific evaluation and treatment planning based on their development and neurological needs.

Interventional Neuroradiology

Interventional Neuroradiology uses minimally invasive, image-guided techniques for selected neurological conditions involving the brain and its blood vessels.

It may support evaluation and treatment planning in specific neurological cases.

Diagnosis and Evaluation of Epilepsy

Accurate diagnosis helps specialists understand the type and cause of seizures.

The evaluation process may include:

• Detailed medical history

• Neurological examination

• Assessment of seizure patterns

• Diagnostic investigations when required

• Review of treatment response

The recommended tests and evaluation approach depend on the patient’s symptoms and clinical condition

Epilepsy Treatment Approach

Treatment for epilepsy is personalised based on seizure type, frequency, underlying cause, and overall health status.

Management may include:

Medical Management

Medicines may be prescribed to help control seizures and reduce their occurrence. Treatment selection depends on individual patient factors.

Lifestyle and Supportive Guidance

Patients may receive guidance regarding lifestyle factors and follow-up care as part of long-term epilepsy management.

Surgical Evaluation

For selected patients whose seizures are not adequately controlled with medical treatment, surgical evaluation may be considered after comprehensive assessment.

Epilepsy Care for Children

Children with epilepsy require specialised evaluation because seizures can affect development, learning, and daily activities.

Through Paediatric Neurology, specialists provide age-appropriate assessment and management for children with seizure disorders.

Care plans consider:

• Child’s age and development

• Type of seizures

• Impact on daily activities

• Long-term neurological needs

Which specialist treats Epilepsy?

A neurologist with expertise in epilepsy evaluates and manages seizure disorders. Other specialists may be involved depending on the patient’s condition.

Can children develop Epilepsy?

Yes. Children can develop epilepsy and may require specialised care through Paediatric Neurology.

When is Neurosurgery considered for Epilepsy?

Neurosurgery may be considered for selected patients whose epilepsy requires surgical evaluation after detailed assessment.

How does Interventional Neuroradiology support neurological care?

Interventional Neuroradiology provides minimally invasive, image-guided procedures for selected neurological conditions involving the brain and blood vessels.
