Comprehensive Diagnosis & Advanced Treatment by Dr. Vivek Barun – Senior Neurologist at Artemis Hospital, Gurugram

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures, which are sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain. These seizures can affect a person's movement, behavior, awareness, or feelings, and may range from brief lapses of attention to severe convulsions.

Dr. Vivek Barun, with his extensive experience and advanced fellowship training in epilepsy and neurodiagnostics, is a leading expert in managing simple, complex, and drug-resistant epilepsy cases.
