Egypt Patient Receives a Complex Brain Procedure with Dr Rana Patir Neurologist FMRI India

Egypt Patient Ahmed Abasi Jabari, 18, was a high school student when he first developed symptoms. "When I get up quickly, I have dark smoke all over my field of vision," he recalls. "My eyesight would fade out and came back. I remember standing in the kitchen and falling over backwards for no real reason. We never sought medical advice; it was just a weird thing." A year ago I started having a headache in my right temple. First they flashed red on the left. I came to realize that if I saw that light flashing, I can also expect a headache too.”

Ahmed eventually found a doctor in his hometown in Egypt and was treated for migraines. But the headaches got worse and more frequent as the days went by. His concerned family decided to see a doctor to advise him on what to do to stop the headache. “The doctor did a lot of tests, including an MRI of my brain, and that's when I heard the bad news. An MRI diagnosed the abnormality. Right behind his eyes is a large patch of blood vessels in the Dura, or outer lining of the brain, that looks like an arteriovenous or cerebral malformation.

A malformation is a collection of veins and arteries that have joined together abnormally. The deformation can alter blood flow and damage surrounding neurons. More seriously, it can rupture and cause stroke or death. In Ahmed's case, the deformity led to an acute intracerebral hemorrhage, a condition involving internal bleeding in brain tissue. A neurologist in Egypt, where Ahmed lives, advised him to seek a second opinion from the best neurosurgeon in India. This is when Ahmed’s family decided to reach out to Spine and Neuro Surgery Services India as Dr Rana Patir reviews were best among all.

“Our Spine and Neuro Surgery Services India seem to be very friendly and very knowledgeable about treatments of this nature. The very next day, Ahmed’s Case Manager made Dr Rana Patir Online appointment. The family will arrive in India next week.

Ahmed met with Dr Rana Patir Neurologist at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram. “A super nice guy. I remember he used a lot of analogies which explained the complex procedure in a straightforward manner.” The following week, Dr Rana Patir neurologist performed an angiogram to confirm the dural AVM. “He told me that there was no doubt that the fistula was causing the severe headaches and there was a danger of rupture,” said Ahmed.

At this juncture, Ahmed had two treatment options: one was open brain surgery to place a clip at the base of the fistula, the other was a procedure called Embolization. This is a process similar to an angiogram; where a micro-catheter is inserted through a vein in the body and navigated to the brain. A small amount of glue is injected into the fistula to cut off its blood supply.

“Dr Rana Patir India's Best Neurosurgeon explained to me that Embolization carries less risk than open brain surgery as it is less invasive. No doubt this is the treatment I will be getting."

The very next day, Ahmed went into surgery. The surgery went perfectly. When Ahmed woke up after the procedure, he felt a world of difference. “I no longer have the terrible headaches and feeling of dizziness. This operation will definitely have a positive impact,” Ahmed said.

Ahmed spent just one day monitored in the intensive care unit and was discharged by Dr Rana Patir Neurologist FMRI after all his vitals seemed to be responding well. Now back in his homeland, Ahmed is full of praise for the treatment he received. “I have not since had any headaches and dizzy spells. He is wonderful. Something as complex as this, you want a doctor like him at your side.” When asked about Spine and Neuro Surgery Services India, he responded, “I just want to sing praises about the help I received from you. I definitely wouldn’t have been able to recover as quickly, had it not been for your support, and Dr Rana Patir reviews are the best”

"Spine and Neuro Surgery Services India would like to wish Ahmed a speedy recovery and a wholesome future ahead."
