Dr. Vishwakiran Hanumadas Jhawar has documented expertise in stroke care and acute neurological assessment. Stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted or bleeding develops within the brain. Evaluation involves neurological examination, urgent brain imaging and assessment of treatment eligibility. Sudden facial drooping, arm weakness or speech difficulty requires immediate emergency care.
Acute ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery supplying the brain. Dr. Vishwakiran's clinical interests include acute stroke management. Treatment may involve clot-dissolving medication or referral for mechanical thrombectomy in eligible patients, depending on imaging findings, symptom onset and clinical criteria.
Preventing another stroke may involve controlling blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol and other vascular risk factors. Dr. Vishwakiran provides neurological assessment and follow-up for patients with cerebrovascular disease. Long-term care may include medication review, risk-factor management and coordination with rehabilitation specialists.
Dr. Vishwakiran specialises in epilepsy and seizure disorders. Epilepsy is a neurological condition associated with recurrent unprovoked seizures. Assessment may include medical history, neurological examination, EEG and brain imaging. Treatment is individualised according to seizure type, diagnosis, medication response and other medical conditions.
A first seizure requires medical evaluation to identify possible causes, including metabolic abnormalities, brain disorders or epilepsy. Dr. Vishwakiran's expertise in epilepsy supports specialist assessment and decisions about further testing. A prolonged seizure or repeated seizures without recovery require emergency medical attention.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological condition that can cause tremor, stiffness, slow movement and balance difficulties. Dr. Vishwakiran has a documented interest in Parkinson's disease and movement disorders. Management may involve medication, exercise, rehabilitation and regular neurological review.
Movement disorders include conditions causing involuntary movements, tremor, stiffness or abnormal muscle contractions. Dr. Vishwakiran contributed to the IAN Review Book chapter on Treatable Movement Disorders. His neurological assessment helps distinguish different movement disorders and identify appropriate treatment options.
Hand tremors and other involuntary shaking movements may occur with essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, medication effects or metabolic conditions. Neurological assessment helps identify the pattern and possible cause. Treatment depends on the diagnosis and the extent to which symptoms affect daily activities.
Dystonia causes involuntary muscle contractions that may produce twisting movements or abnormal postures. As part of movement disorder evaluation, Dr. Vishwakiran may assess symptom patterns, medication history and neurological findings. Selected patients may require referral for specialised procedures or rehabilitation.
Memory difficulties may result from dementia, medication effects, nutritional deficiencies or other medical conditions. Dr. Vishwakiran's published clinical interests include dementia and neurodegenerative disorders. Evaluation may involve cognitive assessment, blood tests, brain imaging and review of daily functioning.
Alzheimer's disease is a common cause of progressive cognitive decline. Neurological evaluation helps distinguish it from other causes of memory impairment. Management may include symptom-directed medication, cognitive support, caregiver education and follow-up according to the patient's condition.
Migraine is a neurological headache disorder that may cause recurrent head pain, nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. Dr. Vishwakiran evaluates chronic headache syndromes, including migraine. Treatment may involve identifying triggers, acute medications, preventive therapies and lifestyle recommendations.
Persistent or recurring headaches may be associated with migraine, tension-type headache, medication overuse or other conditions. Dr. Vishwakiran assesses headache history, associated symptoms and neurological findings to determine whether investigations or treatment changes are necessary.
Demyelinating disorders affect the protective covering of nerve fibres in the central nervous system. Dr. Vishwakiran's published clinical interests include these conditions. Evaluation may involve MRI, neurological examination and other investigations to establish the diagnosis and guide specialist management.
Peripheral neuropathy can cause numbness, tingling, burning pain or weakness in the hands and feet. General neurological assessment helps identify potential causes such as diabetes, vitamin deficiencies or nerve disorders. Nerve conduction studies may be recommended for selected patients.
Dizziness and balance problems may have vestibular, neurological, cardiovascular or other causes. Dr. Vishwakiran's general neurology practice includes assessment of neurological symptoms. Examination and investigations help determine whether a neurological cause is present and whether referral is needed.
Muscle weakness, sensory changes and tingling may arise from disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord or peripheral nerves. Dr. Vishwakiran evaluates neurological symptoms using clinical examination and appropriate investigations. Sudden weakness, especially on one side of the body, requires emergency stroke assessment.
Patients with an established neurological diagnosis or ongoing symptoms may seek a specialist second opinion. Dr. Vishwakiran provides neurological consultations for stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders and other conditions. Reviewing previous imaging, prescriptions and investigation reports can support an informed assessment.
