⚡
Epilepsy
Refractory Seizures — 3 Years Uncontrolled
THE CASE

A 7-year-old boy with daily seizures for 3 years, uncontrolled on two anti-epileptic drugs. MRI and EEG had been reported as normal elsewhere.

OUR APPROACH

Advanced video-EEG telemetry identified focal onset. Repeat MRI with epilepsy protocol at Apollo revealed subtle cortical dysplasia missed on standard imaging. Medication was rationalised with a targeted regime.

✅ Outcome
Seizure-free for 18 months. Back in school, performing at grade level.
🧩
Autism
Late ASD Diagnosis — Age 5
THE CASE

A 5-year-old girl with absent speech, poor eye contact, and repetitive hand-flapping, previously misdiagnosed at two centres.

OUR APPROACH

Formal ADOS-2 assessment at CDC confirmed Level 2 ASD with co-occurring language disorder. A multidisciplinary plan with speech, OT and parent-mediated intervention was initiated.

✅ Outcome
Within 12 months — 50-word vocabulary, communicating basic needs, enrolled in inclusive classroom.
📈
Developmental Delay
Not Walking at Age 3
THE CASE

A 3-year-old boy unable to walk, with floppy tone and absent words. Parents had been told 'he will catch up on his own' for over a year.

OUR APPROACH

EMG and metabolic workup identified an underlying treatable metabolic disorder. Enzyme replacement therapy was initiated alongside physiotherapy and OT at CDC.

✅ Outcome
Walking independently at 4 years. Significant motor and language gains with ongoing therapy.
