Quick answer

Ahmedabad review for Saurashtra patients

Patients from Saurashtra may consider Ahmedabad review when seizures recur, blackouts remain unclear, EEG findings do not fit the story, or medicines are not controlling events.

Dr. Abhishek Gohel and Dr. Rutul Shah review reports and videos first, then discuss whether EEG, Video EEG, PNES assessment, medicine review or surgery evaluation should be considered.

Who should consider travelling?

  • First seizure or repeated seizures where the plan is still unclear
  • Unclear blackouts, staring spells, falls or seizure-like events
  • Abnormal EEG report, or normal EEG despite continuing events
  • Seizures continuing despite two appropriate medicine trials
  • Possible PNES, mixed events, focal epilepsy or generalized epilepsy
  • Questions about Video EEG, MRI correlation or surgery evaluation

Saurashtra and Diu travel planning

This page is meant for patients from Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Veraval/Somnath, Diu and nearby areas who are planning an Ahmedabad epilepsy review.

This page is for planning an Ahmedabad visit. It does not mean Gujarat Epilepsy & Neuro Clinic has a branch in these cities.

What reports to bring

  • Previous prescriptions and current medicine list
  • EEG reports, Video EEG reports and MRI brain report or disc
  • Hospital discharge summaries, blood reports and referral notes
  • Phone videos of events when available
  • A brief timeline of seizure dates, triggers and medicine changes

A short witness video is often useful when the question is seizure, fainting, PNES or another mimic.

EEG, Video EEG and MRI review

EEG and MRI reports are most useful when read with the event history. A normal routine EEG does not always rule out epilepsy, and an abnormal EEG does not automatically explain every blackout or fall.

Video EEG may be discussed when the event needs capture, PNES is possible, seizure classification is uncertain, or drug-resistant epilepsy and surgery evaluation need more detail.

Drug-resistant epilepsy pathway

When medicines are not controlling seizures

Drug-resistant epilepsy is considered when seizures continue despite two appropriate anti-seizure medicines. This does not make surgery automatic. It means the diagnosis, seizure type, EEG/MRI correlation and treatment plan should be reviewed carefully.

1

Review before travel

Collect prescriptions, EEG, MRI, discharge summaries and event videos so the visit starts with the right question.

2

Clinic assessment

Dr. Abhishek Gohel and Dr. Rutul Shah review seizure type, reports, medicines and whether EEG or Video EEG is needed.

3

Plan next step

Medicine review, Video EEG, PNES assessment, MRI/PET correlation or surgery evaluation may be considered. Outcomes vary by case.

PNES and seizure-like events

Some episodes look like epileptic seizures but come from a different mechanism. PNES should not be diagnosed from appearance alone, and some patients may have both epileptic and non-epileptic events.

History, witness videos and Video EEG, when appropriate, can help separate epilepsy, fainting, PNES and other seizure-like conditions.

When urgent local care is needed

Travel planning is not for emergencies. Use the nearest emergency department or call 108 if a seizure lasts longer than usual, injuries occur, breathing is affected, repeated seizures happen without recovery, or the person is pregnant, very young, elderly or medically unstable.

Once the immediate risk is addressed, specialist review can help with diagnosis, safety planning and longer-term epilepsy decisions.

Meet Dr. Abhishek Gohel and Dr. Rutul Shah

At Gujarat Epilepsy & Neuro Clinic in Ahmedabad, Dr. Abhishek Gohel and Dr. Rutul Shah review seizure histories, EEG reports, Video EEG questions, PNES concerns, drug-resistant epilepsy and surgery-evaluation needs.

Both doctors have DM Neurology training from NIMHANS and fellowship training in epilepsy. The visit is planned around the patient story, reports and the specific decision that needs to be made.

What should I bring from my local doctor?

Bring prescriptions, current medicine list, EEG and MRI reports, discharge summaries, blood reports and phone videos of events when available.

When should I use local emergency care instead of travelling?

Use local emergency care when seizures are prolonged, repeated without recovery, associated with injury, breathing difficulty, pregnancy or medical instability.

Can drug-resistant epilepsy be reviewed during the visit?

Yes. The review can reassess seizure type, medicines, EEG/MRI correlation and whether Video EEG or surgery evaluation should be considered. Outcomes vary by case.
