Query :
Still getting fits - after taking levipil250 three times daily for last 3 years. Pls advice.
Thanks for providing the details and for uploading the EEG report. The report shows a normal awake EEG pattern. I would need to ask you to elaborate on the nature of the seizure attacks that your child gets. Please mention how long the episodes last, the activities prior to, during and after the episodes, any aura, and any other related details. Also indicate how long he has been having the seizures and how it all started. In case you have an idea about the underlying cause that has been identified, please mention that as well. Based on that I would be able to suggest further course of action.

Query :
Suggest best doctor for Van Der Knaap Syndrome treatment at Kolkata.
I have gone through the query and have checked the attached report. I need to mention that the condition is not curable and the treatment is supportive. In other words, developmental therapy and management of symptoms (like seizures) need to be done. I need to know what sort of complaints the child has been having for which you sought medical assistance, and for which the MRI was done. Treatment can be availed at Institute of Neurosciences Kolkata &
Helpline: +91 33 4030 9999, I am attached to the mentioned institute and I hope that after evaluating the child I would be able to guide you further. Regards

Query :
Suggest doctor and hospital for SDR surgery.
Thanks for asking. SDR (Selective dorsal rhizotomy) can be done for a number of causes and the 'success rate' depends on a number of factors. In Kolkata, Dr. Gautam Das of Daradiya Pain Clinic is perhaps the best in this regard. Regards
