Head injury and neurotrauma care
Road accidents and falls make traumatic brain injury one of the most common neurosurgical emergencies in India. Outcomes depend heavily on how quickly the right treatment starts — which is why Dr. Shyam’s team provides round-the-clock neurotrauma care at Manipal Hospital Electronics City, with immediate access to CT, ICU and operating theatres.
Conditions managed
- Extradural and subdural hematomas — emergency evacuation
- Chronic subdural hematoma in the elderly — often after trivial falls
- Depressed skull fractures
- Diffuse axonal injury and severe TBI — ICP monitoring and decompressive craniectomy
- Concussion and mild TBI — assessment and return-to-work guidance
- CSF leaks after trauma
Warning signs after a head injury
Worsening headache, repeated vomiting, increasing drowsiness, weakness of a limb, seizures or clear fluid from the nose or ear after any head injury need urgent evaluation — do not wait until morning.
