Areas of Expertise

Child Neurology and Paediatric Brain Conditions

With an MD in Paediatrics alongside her DM in Neurology, Dr Rashmi Devaraj is trained to manage brain and nervous system conditions specifically in children, an area that requires a very different clinical approach from adult neurology. She is one of the few neurologists in Bangalore with this dual specialisation.

• Epilepsy and seizure management in infants and children
• Neurodevelopmental delay assessment and management
• Cerebral palsy evaluation and long-term management
• Autism spectrum disorder and learning disability evaluation
• Childhood headaches and migraine management
• Febrile seizures and acute neurological illness in children
• Cerebellar and coordination disorders in children

Adult Neurology

Dr Devaraj provides comprehensive evaluation and management of a wide range of neurological conditions in adults, combining her clinical expertise with her published research background to deliver evidence-based and up-to-date care.

• Epilepsy and seizure disorder management in adults
• Stroke evaluation, acute management, and rehabilitation
• Headache and migraine diagnosis and long-term management
• Multiple sclerosis and demyelinating disease management

Genetic and Metabolic Brain Conditions

Dr Rashmi Devaraj has a focused clinical and research interest in rare genetic and metabolic disorders affecting the brain and nervous system. Her published research on Niemann-Pick Disease Type C, a rare inherited metabolic condition, reflects this specialist depth in an area that very few neurologists in Bangalore address at this level of expertise.

• Diagnosis and management of rare genetic neurological disorders
• Metabolic brain disease evaluation and management
• Lysosomal storage disorder neurological assessment
• Genetic counselling coordination for inherited neurological conditions

Neuroimmunology and Inflammatory Brain Conditions

Her published research on aseptic meningitis and optic neuritis, alongside her work on neurological complications following COVID-19 vaccination, reflects Dr Devaraj's active clinical interest in conditions where the immune system affects the brain and nervous system.

• Autoimmune encephalitis evaluation and management
• Optic neuritis and demyelinating optic nerve conditions
• Meningitis evaluation and management
