Dr. Rajesh Benny is a Consultant Neurologist associated with Fortis Hospital, Mulund, Mumbai. Fortis Healthcare lists 18 years of experience in neurology. His clinical practice focuses on the assessment and management of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscles.
Dr. Benny completed his MBBS from Grant Medical College and Sir J. J. Hospital, Mumbai, in 1999. He subsequently completed DNB training in General Medicine in 2003 and specialist neurology training, listed as DM Neurology in his Fortis biography, in 2006.
His documented clinical services include evaluation and treatment of stroke, headache disorders, nerve and muscle conditions, and neurological problems associated with the spine. These conditions may cause symptoms such as headaches, weakness, numbness, dizziness or changes in movement.
Neurological evaluation may involve a detailed medical history, examination of the nervous system and appropriate investigations. Imaging, blood tests or neurophysiological studies may be considered depending on the suspected diagnosis and clinical findings.
Dr. Benny provides specialist neurological consultation at Fortis Hospital, Mulund. Patients with suspected stroke, recurring headaches, persistent weakness, sensory symptoms or other neurological concerns can seek assessment according to the urgency of their condition.
Neurology consultation focuses on diagnosing disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. A neurologist reviews symptoms, medical history and neurological examination findings. Additional tests may include brain imaging or nerve studies when needed to establish the diagnosis.
Stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted or when bleeding develops within the brain. Sudden facial weakness, speech difficulty or limb weakness requires immediate emergency assessment. Treatment depends on stroke type and the time since symptoms began.
Headaches can result from migraine, tension-type headache and numerous other causes. Neurological assessment considers the pattern, severity, duration and associated symptoms. Treatment may involve medication, preventive therapy or additional investigation when warning signs are present.
Migraine is a neurological disorder that can cause recurrent headaches, nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. Some patients experience visual or sensory symptoms called aura. Management includes treating individual attacks and considering preventive medication when appropriate.
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged. Symptoms may include numbness, tingling, burning pain or muscle weakness. Evaluation focuses on identifying causes such as diabetes, nutritional deficiency or other neurological conditions.
Nerve and muscle disorders may produce weakness, cramps, abnormal sensation or difficulties with movement. Assessment includes a neurological examination and may require blood tests, nerve conduction studies or electromyography. Treatment depends on the underlying diagnosis.
Neuromuscular disorders affect the peripheral nerves, muscles or connections between nerves and muscles. Some conditions are inherited, while others are inflammatory or acquired. Specialist care aims to identify the cause, manage symptoms and monitor functional changes.
Spinal neurological disorders may affect the spinal cord or nerve roots, leading to pain, numbness, weakness or walking difficulty. Assessment involves examining neurological function and reviewing imaging when needed. Management may include medical treatment, rehabilitation or referral for surgical assessment.
Muscle weakness may arise from neurological, muscular, metabolic or other medical conditions. A neurologist evaluates symptom progression, affected muscle groups and associated findings. Investigations are selected according to the suspected cause to guide further treatment.
Follow-up after stroke involves monitoring neurological recovery, assessing ongoing symptoms and addressing future stroke risk. Care may include medication review, risk-factor management and coordination with rehabilitation specialists. Treatment is individualised according to the stroke mechanism and remaining impairments.
