Finding Hope Abroad: Bangladeshi Teenager Receives Treatment for ADEM in India
By Author : Dr. Deepanshu Siwach
03 July,2024
Neurological disorders are a significant public health concern, especially in Bangladesh, where the healthcare infrastructure is still developing. Cases of stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson's, and CNS infections are on the rise and among the leading causes of hospital admissions.
Know the Patient
- Patient Name: Mr. Sadman Samit
- Country: Bangladesh
- Age: 18 Years
- Disease: Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM), CNS Vasculitis
- Treatment: Medical Management
- Procedure: Cerebral Angiography, Renal Angiography
- Hospital: Medanta - The Medicity Hospital, Gurgaon
- Doctor: Dr. Vinay Goyal
Living with ADEM in Bangladesh
Sadman Samit, an 18-year-old boy from Bangladesh, also suffered from one such neurological disorder. He had his first episode in January 2023, and the symptoms he observed were headache, decreased speech output, vomiting, loss of consciousness, and hemiparesis (partial paralysis). Sadman had his second episode later in the year, with symptoms being more aggressive this time. His speech ability was severely affected, and he was unable to speak for over 24 hours.
Sadman was diagnosed with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and given treatment accordingly in his home country. However, his symptoms did not improve much, and for a proper diagnosis and treatment, he came to India.
Seeking Expert Care in India
Sadman's mother learned about us from her friend and contacted us for assistance. We acted promptly to their query and made all the arrangements for Sadman's treatment. He came to India with his mother, father, and brother.
Upon arriving in India, they consulted Dr. Vinay Goyal, one of the best neurologists in India. The doctor advised angiography (cerebral, renal, and mesenteric) and an MRI of the brain for a proper diagnosis. All the procedures were done at Medanta Hospital, Gurgaon.
The reports showed no abnormal mass lesions, aneurysms, or arteriovenous malformations. Dr. Vinay medically managed the patient with supportive treatment, avoiding the need for surgical intervention. Sadman's condition showed significant improvements, and he was discharged soon in stable condition.
The family stayed in India for about one week and received constant support from us. Our team members provided a home-like environment and helped them with flight tickets, doctor's consultations, hospital admissions, hotel accommodations, and travel arrangements.
Exploring India's Cultural Heritage and History
They were delighted with the quality of treatment provided by the hospital and the doctor. Once the treatment was over, Sadman and his family decided to embrace India's rich cultural heritage. They visited the historical monuments in Delhi and explored the local culture and cuisine.
In his words, "I am completely fine after my treatment. MediJourney helped us with our Visa, travel, accommodation, and doctor's appointments. Thanks to MediJourney and Dr. Vinay Goyal."
We wish Sadman a healthy and fulfilling life ahead.
