Narayana Health City Achieves Landmark of 1 Lakh Neurology Procedures
Bengaluru, September 23, 2025: Narayana Health City has completed over one lakh neurological procedures in the past two decades, marking a historic milestone in advanced brain and neuro care. The achievement underlines the hospital’s pioneering role in complex treatments, cutting-edge technology, and patient-centered care.
Over the years, the hospital has managed critical neurological cases ranging from life-threatening seizures and strokes to rare movement disorders, with success stories reflecting the impact of multidisciplinary teamwork.
One such case was that of a 21-year-old student, Ms. Deepa (name changed), who was admitted with super-refractory status epilepticus — a severe condition where seizures persist beyond 24 hours despite aggressive treatment. A dedicated team of neurologists, epileptologists, and critical-care specialists worked intensively for seven weeks, using anaesthetic coma therapy, anti-seizure drugs, and immunotherapy. Against all odds, she recovered fully and is now leading an independent life.
“Seizures lasting beyond five minutes should be treated as a medical emergency. Timely recognition and intervention can save lives,” said Dr. Gopal Krishna Dash, Senior Consultant Epileptologist at Narayana Health City.
Another case involved a 50-year-old man, Mr. Rajesh (name changed), who suffered from severe dystonia, a movement disorder causing uncontrollable muscle contractions. Standard medications and injections offered no relief, leading doctors to perform Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). The procedure, which involves implanting electrodes to regulate abnormal brain activity, brought dramatic improvement, allowing him to regain normalcy within a month.
“Awareness about DBS remains limited, yet its impact on movement disorders can be remarkable. Its scope is expanding rapidly and deserves greater recognition,” said Dr. Kuldeep Shetty, Consultant Movement Disorders Specialist.
Highlighting the wider risk of neurological conditions, Dr. Vikram Huded, Senior Consultant, Director and Clinical Lead, Interventional Neurology Program, said, “One in four people faces the risk of stroke during their lifetime, while one in fifty may develop a brain aneurysm, which is treatable. Subtle symptoms must never be ignored. Rapid imaging and timely interventions such as Mechanical Thrombectomy, Carotid Stenting, and Flow Diversion are available to protect brain function and restore quality of life.”
Among the milestone’s most notable voices was renowned singer Lucky Ali, a former patient. He suffered a transient ischemic attack (TIA) while travelling from Goa to Bengaluru. Thanks to his daughter’s swift action, he reached a hospital in time and later underwent a successful carotid stenting procedure at Narayana Health City.
“The treatment was smooth and painless. My recovery was possible only because we acted fast. I congratulate Narayana Health on achieving one lakh neurology procedures and thank the clinical and nursing teams for their expert care,” he said.
This milestone reflects how early diagnosis, technology-driven interventions, and coordinated expertise can change lives. Narayana Health City continues to set benchmarks in comprehensive neuro care, offering patients renewed hope and healthier futures.
