Assoc. Prof. M.D. Zeynep Selen Aslan Reviews

Our 14-year-old competitive archer, Elif, developed mysterious focal seizures that only occurred during tournament concentration. Dr. Aslan identified a rare form of photosensitive epilepsy triggered by specific visual patterns in archery targets. Instead of ending her career, she designed a personalized neurofeedback protocol combined with tinted lenses, allowing Elif to continue competing seizure-free and win her first national championship.

When 3-year-old Leo, adopted from Mongolia, arrived with undiagnosed neurological issues and no medical history, Dr. Aslan spent weeks analyzing subtle movement patterns. She discovered a unique cerebellar malformation previously undocumented in medical literature. Her culturally sensitive approach involved collaborating with traditional Mongolian healers alongside modern treatment, resulting in remarkable motor skill development that astonished everyone.

During a family sailing trip in the Aegean, 8-year-old Kaan developed acute neurological symptoms. Dr. Aslan coordinated an emergency telemedicine consultation from the hospital while the boat was at sea, guiding the family through temporary interventions until a coast guard helicopter could evacuate him. She diagnosed a rare marine toxin exposure affecting the nervous system and implemented an innovative detoxification protocol.

Seventeen-year-old aspiring pianist Mira suddenly lost fine motor control in her left hand. Multiple specialists suggested it was psychological until Dr. Aslan identified a tiny arteriovenous malformation pressing on specific motor pathways. Her minimally invasive procedure preserved every neural connection necessary for musical performance, and Mira played Chopin at her conservatory audition six months later.
