Srikar


This is Srikar. He is 9 months old. A few months ago Srikar was diagnosed with seizures(infantile spasms). The MRI showed that he has dysplastic(abnormal) tissue on the left side of his brain. The EEG testing showed seizures originating from left side almost continuously. The only way to control his seizures is to undergo a procedure in which left half of cerebral cortex will be removed. He will be undergoing the surgery at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore on 15th April.
