About Dyslexia

Dyslexia is not a medical procedure but a specific learning disorder primarily characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition, poor spelling, and decoding abilities. A neurologist plays a crucial role in the comprehensive assessment and diagnosis of dyslexia. This involves a detailed evaluation to rule out other neurological conditions, such as vision or hearing problems, and to understand the brain's language processing pathways. The neurologist conducts a clinical history review, neurological examination, and may order or interpret specialized tests like neuropsychological assessments or brain imaging (e.g., fMRI) to identify atypical brain activity patterns associated with reading. The goal is to provide a precise diagnosis, differentiate it from other learning or attention disorders, and guide individuals toward effective, evidence-based interventions and educational strategies tailored to their unique cognitive profile.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Persistent difficulty in learning to read, spell, or write despite conventional instruction and adequate intelligence.
  • Family history of dyslexia or other learning disorders.
  • Suspected co-occurring conditions like ADHD, dysgraphia, or auditory processing disorder.
  • When a school-based assessment is inconclusive or a more comprehensive medical evaluation is needed.
  • To rule out underlying neurological, visual, or hearing impairments that mimic dyslexia symptoms.

How to prepare

  • Compile all relevant academic records, report cards, and previous assessment reports.
  • Prepare a detailed history of developmental milestones, speech/language development, and family history of learning disorders.
  • Bring a list of current medications and any known medical conditions.
  • Be ready to discuss specific challenges observed at home and school in detail.
  • For children, it may be helpful for parents and teachers to fill out standardized behavioral questionnaires beforehand.

Risks & possible complications

  • The diagnostic process itself is non-invasive and carries no direct physical risks.
  • Potential for emotional distress or anxiety related to the assessment and diagnosis.
  • Risk of misdiagnosis or overlooking a co-existing condition if the evaluation is not comprehensive.
  • Possible labeling or stigma, though a proper diagnosis is intended to enable support.
  • Financial cost associated with the specialist consultation and any recommended testing.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • There is no physical recovery as it is a diagnostic evaluation, not a surgical procedure.
  • The post-diagnosis phase involves reviewing and understanding the assessment report with the neurologist.
  • Key steps include implementing the recommended intervention plan, which may involve specialized tutoring (e.g., Orton-Gillingham approach), speech therapy, or educational accommodations.
  • Regular follow-ups may be scheduled to monitor progress and adjust strategies as needed.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
