Dr. S. Murali

As a 72-year-old retired engineer with essential tremor for decades, I'd given up hope. Dr. Murali recommended focused ultrasound thalamotomy—a non-invasive procedure I'd never heard of. The treatment eliminated my shaking hands without any incisions. I can finally write letters to my grandchildren without embarrassment. (Patient of Dr. Murali)

Our 45-year-old neighbor collapsed during our community cricket match. Dr. Murali happened to be watching and recognized it as a basilar artery stroke. His immediate response and direct coordination with Manipal's stroke team meant clot retrieval within 30 minutes. Our friend returned to work in 6 weeks with minimal deficit. (Patient of Dr. Murali)

My 28-year-old wife developed persistent deja vu episodes that local doctors dismissed as anxiety. Dr. Murali identified temporal lobe epilepsy through detailed monitoring. His precise laser ablation surgery eliminated her seizures while preserving memory function. We're now planning to start a family. (Patient of Dr. Murali)

When my 16-year-old son's chronic migraines became so severe he dropped out of school, Dr. Murali discovered a rare venous sinus stenosis. The stenting procedure he performed—rarely done in adolescents—gave our son his life back. He's now headache-free and applying to universities. (Patient of Dr. Murali)

My 8-year-old daughter developed sudden facial twitching and confusion after a viral fever. Dr. S. Murali diagnosed her with autoimmune encephalitis—something our local hospital missed. His calm approach and immediate immunotherapy at Manipal Hospital saved her cognitive function. She's now back to school, dancing again.
