Two-Year-Old Navya Recovers from Rare Genetic Epilepsy: Yatharth Hospital, Greater Noida Sets New Benchmark in Pediatric Neurosciences
Greater Noida, Feb 9: Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital, Omega-I, Greater Noida, has achieved a remarkable milestone in pediatric neurology by successfully treating a two-year-old girl, Navya, diagnosed with a rare and severe genetic epilepsy disorder, Dravet Syndrome. This complex condition, known for causing prolonged, life-threatening seizures, presents one of the most challenging scenarios in pediatric neuroscience.
Navya was admitted to the hospital’s Emergency Department after experiencing a sudden high fever accompanied by continuous seizures. Under the urgent care of Senior Neurophysician Dr. Chirag Gupta, Navya received immediate intervention and ventilator support due to the severity of her condition. Dravet Syndrome, triggered even by mild fevers and not detectable through routine imaging, required precise diagnosis through clinical evaluation and genetic testing.
Through coordinated efforts of the PICU team, pediatric specialists, and continuous monitoring, Navya gradually stabilized. Within a week, she made a full recovery and was discharged in healthy condition, bringing immense relief to her family.
Navya’s parents expressed their gratitude:
“We thought we were losing our daughter. But the team at Yatharth Hospital gave us hope and gave Navya a new life. We will always be thankful.”
Dr. Chirag Gupta remarked,
“Dravet Syndrome requires rapid diagnosis, precise treatment, and continuous monitoring. Navya’s recovery is a result of timely intervention and coordinated teamwork. Early medical attention during prolonged seizures can make all the difference in saving a child’s life.”
Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital continues to establish itself as a trusted center for pediatric neurology and advanced epilepsy management in Delhi–NCR, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, dedicated intensive care units, and expert neurologists capable of handling critical and complex cases.
