Quick answer

Ahmedabad review for South Gujarat patients

Patients from Surat, Vadodara, Bharuch, Ankleshwar, Navsari, Valsad, Vapi, Daman and Silvassa may consider Ahmedabad review when seizures recur, blackouts remain unclear, EEG findings do not fit the story, or medicines are not controlling events.

The review focuses on seizure classification, EEG/MRI correlation, Video EEG decisions, PNES assessment, medicine review and whether a drug-resistant epilepsy or surgery-evaluation pathway 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

South Gujarat, Daman and Silvassa travel planning

Families from South Gujarat usually need a focused plan before travel: which reports to carry, whether Video EEG may be needed, and what decision the consultation should answer.

This page is for planning an Ahmedabad visit. It does not mean Gujarat Epilepsy & Neuro Clinic has a branch in South Gujarat, Daman or Silvassa.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I travel from South Gujarat for epilepsy review in Ahmedabad?

Yes. Patients from South Gujarat may travel to Ahmedabad for seizure review, EEG interpretation, Video EEG planning, PNES assessment or drug-resistant epilepsy evaluation. The clinic is based in Ahmedabad.

Which South Gujarat cities does this travel guide cover?

This page is relevant for Surat, Vadodara, Bharuch, Ankleshwar, Navsari, Valsad, Vapi, Daman, Silvassa and nearby areas planning an Ahmedabad visit.

What reports 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.

Will I need Video EEG if I travel to Ahmedabad?

Not necessarily. The first step is to review the event history, phone videos, EEG reports, MRI and current medicines. Video EEG is discussed only when it can answer a specific question, such as event capture, PNES assessment, seizure classification, drug-resistant epilepsy review or surgery evaluation.

When should I use local emergency care instead of travelling?

Seek local emergency care or call the regional emergency service for prolonged seizures, repeated seizures without recovery, injury, breathing difficulty, pregnancy or medical instability.
