Dr. Jharna Mahajan (Bhanushali)

Seizures can result from various causes—genetic, structural, infectious, metabolic, or idiopathic. Dr. Mahajan provides: Detailed diagnostic workup with EEG, MRI, and lab studies Differentiation between epileptic seizures and mimics like syncope or psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) Long-term treatment using anti-seizure medications Guidance for special populations (e.g., pregnancy, elderly) Education on seizure safety, lifestyle adjustments, and rescue medications Referral for epilepsy surgery or VNS therapy in drug-resistant epilepsy....

Timely and accurate stroke care is critical for recovery and future prevention. Dr. Mahajan offers: Post-stroke follow-up for motor, speech, or cognitive deficits Stroke subtype diagnosis (ischemic, hemorrhagic, embolic, cryptogenic) Secondary prevention: blood pressure, cholesterol, antiplatelets, anticoagulation Risk factor modification (e.g., diabetes, smoking cessation) Coordination with rehabilitation and physical therapy teams...

These include conditions that affect voluntary and involuntary movements. Dr. Mahajan provides expertise in: • Parkinson’s disease: Diagnosis, medication titration (levodopa, dopamine agonists), and management of non-motor symptoms (constipation, sleep issues) • Tremor disorders: Differentiating essential tremor from Parkinsonian tremor • Dystonia: Management with medications or botulinum toxin injections • Ataxias: Evaluation of balance and coordination disorders due to cerebellar disease or inherited causes • Assessment for advanced therapies like deep brain stimulation (DBS)

Dizziness may stem from multiple neurological or non-neurological causes. Dr. Mahajan provides: • Differentiation between peripheral (vestibular) and central causes • Diagnosis of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere’s disease, vestibular migraine, brainstem strokes • Vestibular function testing and Epley’s maneuver • Coordination with ENT and physiotherapy for long-term balance training....

Neuropathies can be localized or systemic, with symptoms like tingling, burning, weakness, or numbness. Dr. Mahajan specializes in: • Diabetic neuropathy: Glycemic control, foot care, and pain management • Immune-mediated neuropathies: CIDP, GBS – diagnosed using EMG/NCS and treated with immunotherapies (IVIG, steroids) • Entrapment syndromes: Carpal tunnel, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica • Hereditary neuropathies: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and others • Toxic/metabolic neuropathies: Due to alcohol, chemotherapy, or vitamin deficiencies

Motor neuron diseases cause progressive weakness and disability: • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): Involves both upper and lower motor neurons—leading to muscle wasting, spasticity, and respiratory failure • Progressive muscular atrophy (PMA) or primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) variants • Dr. Mahajan provides a multidisciplinary care model including respiratory monitoring (spirometry), speech and swallowing evaluations, and palliative care integration • Focus on quality of life, caregiver support, and early planning for assistive technologies

These are autoimmune conditions affecting the communication between nerves and muscles: • Myasthenia Gravis: Presents with drooping eyelids, double vision, swallowing difficulty, or limb weakness—typically worsens with activity • Diagnosis via antibody testing (AChR, MuSK), repetitive nerve stimulation, and response to medications • Treatment with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (e.g., pyridostigmine), immunosuppressants, plasmapheresis/IVIG during crises, and thymectomy evaluation....
