Best Epileptologists in Kochi

Epileptologists are neurologists who specialise in diagnosing and treating epilepsy. They use advanced tools like EEG, MRI, and video monitoring to identify and classify seizures. Epileptologists in Kochi create personalised treatment plans that may include medications, lifestyle changes, or surgery to control seizures. They also educate patients and their families about epilepsy and how to manage it, aiming to improve patient's quality of life.

Epilepsy shows symptoms like seizures, confusion, blank staring, and severe shaking. And uncontrolled body movements, ranging from mild to severe. Some seizures also cause temporary loss of consciousness. Epileptologists in Kochi provide specialised care and treatment for these symptoms.

Diagnosing epilepsy requires a detailed medical evaluation to find the type and cause of seizures. Epileptologists in Kochi at Aster Medcity use advanced tools like EEG, which measures brain activity, and MRI, which provides detailed images of the brain, to ensure accurate diagnosis.

Epileptologists in Kochi use advanced tools for epilepsy care. Scalp EEG records brain activity, and Video EEG combines this with video to observe seizures. We also use PET-CT scans, which create 3D images to detect brain disorders using a radioactive tracer. 

The Aster Epilepsy Centre offers advanced epilepsy treatments. We use Video EEG machines for long-term monitoring to analyse brain activity, diagnose epilepsy, understand seizure patterns, and plan treatments. We also provide pre-surgical Video EEG to pinpoint seizure locations and offer standard and portable EEG monitoring for outpatients.
