Dr. Anjana B Choudhury

An affluent 15-year-old boy with complex congenital heart disease developed new-onset cyanosis during a growth spurt. Dr. Choudhury identified worsening pulmonary hypertension through echocardiography and coordinated with cardiothoracic surgeons for a Potts shunt procedure. His oxygen saturation improved from 75% to 92% post-operatively, allowing him to resume limited physical activities after 3 months of cardiac rehabilitation.

A 3-year-old refugee child from Myanmar presented with severe malnutrition and persistent diarrhea. Dr. Choudhury discovered a rare congenital sucrose-isomaltase deficiency through genetic testing. She designed a custom starch-free diet using locally available foods and worked with social workers to ensure dietary compliance. The child gained 2.5 kg in 8 weeks and had complete resolution of gastrointestinal symptoms.

A teenage competitive gymnast developed unexplained fatigue and recurrent fractures. Dr. Choudhury diagnosed female athlete triad syndrome with early osteoporosis. She created a comprehensive management plan involving nutritional counseling, psychological support, and modified training regimen. After 9 months, the athlete regained normal menstrual function and bone density improved by 15% on DEXA scan.

A newborn from a consanguineous marriage presented with recurrent metabolic acidosis. Dr. Choudhury diagnosed methylmalonic acidemia through tandem mass spectrometry. She initiated a specialized protein-restricted formula and emergency protocol for metabolic crises. The infant has remained crisis-free for 2 years with careful dietary management and family education.

A 7-year-old girl from a rural village presented with recurrent seizures that local healers attributed to spiritual causes. Dr. Choudhury diagnosed her with Rasmussen's encephalitis after comprehensive neuroimaging. She initiated immunomodulatory therapy and collaborated with neurologists for a functional hemispherectomy. The child achieved seizure freedom after 18 months of multidisciplinary care, returning to school with modified academic expectations.
