I am delighted to share that Dr. Vaishnavi, an MBBS student from Thane, presented a remarkable case from my neurosurgical practice at the Annual Conference of the Neurotrauma Society of India 2026 in Hyderabad, and was awarded the First Prize for Oral Poster Presentation.
“The Visual Paradox: Complete Recovery from Blindness Following a Trans-Cranial Penetrating Brain Injury”
The case involved a patient who sustained a severe transcranial bullet injury, with the bullet travelling from the left side to the right side of the brain and traversing the optic radiations, resulting in complete loss of vision.
The patient was brought to the hospital in the middle of the night and underwent I performed the surgery. Emergency bilateral craniectomy and surgical retrieval of the bullet.
What followed was an extraordinary journey of recovery. Over the next 1.5 years, the patient gradually regained her vision and eventually made a complete visual recovery.
Today, 5 years after the surgery, she continues to do remarkably well, with no neurological deficits.
It is deeply gratifying to see this extraordinary clinical journey presented at a national scientific forum and receive the First Prize.
Congratulations to Dr. Vaishnavi on this well-deserved achievement. Her presentation beautifully highlights the complexity of neurotrauma, the importance of timely surgical intervention, and the remarkable potential of the human brain to recover.
A challenging case. An extraordinary recovery. A proud moment for our entire team.

I'm honored to have been invited as a faculty speaker at the Continuing Medical Education (CME) Programme organized by Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Holkar Head and Neck Cancer Institute of India, in association with The Doctors Social Foundation and Medical Practitioners Association, Mumbra.
During the academic session, I delivered a talk on "Recent Developments in Brain Tumour Surgery: Contemporary Methods & Breakthroughs," where I shared the latest advancements, innovative surgical techniques, and modern treatment approaches in neurosurgery with fellow medical professionals.
Continuous learning and knowledge sharing are essential to improving patient care and advancing neurological treatment. It was a privilege to contribute to this esteemed educational event and interact with distinguished healthcare professionals.
🙏 Thank you to the organizers for the invitation and for providing a valuable platform to promote academic excellence in neurosurgery.

It was a privilege to deliver a lecture at my alma mater, NIMHANS, during the recent Alumni Meet & CME. I had the opportunity to speak on "Fellowship Opportunities in India" for aspiring and young neurosurgeons.
Sharing insights, experiences, and guidance with the next generation of neurosurgeons was truly rewarding. I hope the session helped young doctors better understand the diverse fellowship pathways available and inspired them to pursue excellence in neurosurgery. 📚✨
