Dr. Rishu Bansal — Associate Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Rishu Bansal is an Associate Consultant in Neurology at Medanta – The Medicity in Delhi NCR, with more than 10 years of experience, and practises at Medanta in Gurugram.

Epilepsy and stroke divide his clinical list almost evenly. On the epilepsy side are epilepsy management, seizure disorder management and drug-resistant epilepsy; on the stroke side, acute ischemic stroke management, hemorrhagic stroke management, post-stroke neurological care and stroke prevention and secondary care. Parkinson's disease, tremor disorders, dystonia, trigeminal neuralgia and neuropathic pain management complete it. EEG is his investigation; IV thrombolysis, deep brain stimulation, botulinum toxin therapy and migraine nerve block his procedures.

His training explains that split. After MBBS at Grant Medical College in Mumbai and an MD in internal medicine, he took his DrNB in neurology, then a post-doctoral fellowship in clinical and surgical epilepsy and electrophysiology, and a six-month epilepsy and EEG course at the NESSAN National Academy under the aegis of Dr. K. Radhakrishnan. He also holds the MRCP UK SCE in neurology from the Royal College of Physicians in London.

His awards cover both halves of that route. The NBE recognised his thesis as outstanding research work: an observational prospective study evaluating the outcome of acute stroke of unknown onset, with last well seen under 24 hours, in a tertiary care centre in an Indian population. Earlier he was best student in MBBS at Grant Medical College and the Sir J.J. Group of Hospitals in Mumbai, and was recognised by the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh for academic performance.
