Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital, Omega-I, Greater Noida has added another milestone to its medical excellence by successfully treating a two-year-old girl, Navya, diagnosed with a rare and severe genetic epilepsy disorder, Dravet Syndrome. This complex neurological condition is known for causing prolonged, recurrent seizures that can become life-threatening for young children.
Navya was rushed to the hospital’s Emergency Department after developing a sudden high fever and continuous seizures. Her parents, in a state of panic, feared the worst. At the hospital, Senior Neurophysician Dr. Chirag Gupta immediately assessed her condition and initiated urgent treatment.
Due to the severity of the seizures, Navya required ventilator support for several days. Dravet Syndrome is particularly challenging because even mild fever can trigger severe seizures, and the condition cannot be detected through routine imaging. Diagnosis relies on clinical symptoms, detailed evaluation, genetic testing and neurological expertise.
Under continuous monitoring and specialized care provided by Dr. Chirag Gupta, the PICU team, and pediatric specialists, Navya gradually began to improve. Within a week, she stabilized and was discharged in a healthy condition—bringing immense relief to her family.
Navya’s parents expressed deep gratitude, saying:
“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, saying
“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 emerge as one of the most trusted centers 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 the most critical cases.
