Dr. Suryanarayana Sharma P M — Consultant Neurologist in Bengaluru

Dr. Suryanarayana Sharma P M is a Consultant Neurologist at Apollo Hospitals on Bannerghatta Road in Bengaluru, with more than 12 years of experience.

Stroke is the one area with dedicated training behind it. His qualifications record a fellowship in stroke taken in the United Kingdom, and stroke treatment and recovery heads his clinical list, with IV thrombolysis as the acute procedure and neuro rehabilitation for brain injury as the recovery half.

The rest of the list is broad. Epilepsy treatment and drug-resistant epilepsy come next, then Parkinson's disease, dystonia and tremor disorders, then multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis and diabetic neuropathy, and then migraine with chronic headache. Three diagnostic tests support that range: EEG for the epilepsy work, and nerve conduction studies and evoked potentials for the nerve and muscle conditions. The treatments recorded are deep brain stimulation and botulinum toxin therapy for movement disorders, IVIG for immune-mediated disease, and migraine nerve block for headache.

His degrees run through three colleges. He read MBBS at Mysore Medical College, took his MD in internal medicine at JSS Medical College in Mysore, and completed his DM in neurology at M.S. Ramaiah Medical College in Bangalore, before the stroke fellowship abroad.

Three best paper awards are recorded: at Neurocon 2014 in Ahmedabad, at IAMCON 2014 in Chandigarh, and at a stroke workshop. Two of those came in the same year, and the third returns to stroke, the subject his additional training was in. For an international patient, the stroke fellowship and the thrombolysis entry are the parts of this record that carry the most weight.
