Gitelman Syndrome Manifesting With Acute Hypokalemic Paralysis: A Case Report
A case describing Gitelman syndrome, a rare kidney condition, presenting with sudden limb weakness that initially mimicked Guillain-Barré syndrome — highlighting an uncommon presentation of an otherwise usually mild condition.
A Rare Diagnosis of Aseptic Hypertrophic Pachymeningitis: A Case of Mycobacterial Tuberculosis Origin
A case of tubercular meningitis presenting as thickening of the brain's protective lining, diagnosed by meningeal biopsy after standard tests were inconclusive — illustrating why tuberculosis should stay on the differential even with a nonspecific presentation.

"Dr Rahul Gunde is an extraordinary neurologist. My mother was admitted under him with pachymeningitis, and the entire process he treated her through was unprecedented. She recovered very well and is doing great now. Our family felt very happy with his treatment — the way he guided us through the entire process was excellent."
"One day I suddenly had a seizure and later found out I had a clot in my brain. We were very tense and anxious, not knowing what to do. Dr Rahul motivated us, showed great concern, and guided us with the right treatment. Whenever I have anxiety or face an emergency, he responds very quickly. Among all the doctors I have visited, he is truly the best."
"Dr. Rahul Gunde is one of the best doctors I've visited. Very friendly, listens carefully, good and knowledgeable and explains everything in simple words. Highly recommended!"
"Dr. Rahul is an experienced and dedicated neurologist who provides excellent care to his patients. He listens carefully to patients' concerns and explains medical conditions clearly. His diagnosis and treatment approach are professional and effective."
"Dr Rahul sir has a good knowledge, the way he speaks and treats patients is so patient. I am so happy to meet him because my problem was cleared. I recommend to everyone — please consult Dr Rahul if you have any neuro problems."
"I approached Dr. Rahul for my father's treatment. My father has cervical myelopathy and peripheral neuropathy. What I liked most: doctor's patient behavior, clear explanation of condition, and practical treatment plan. No fear tactics, only honest guidance. Follow-ups are smooth too. Strongly recommend."
"Nice doctor, highly recommend."

Answers before your visit.
Addressing the most frequent questions patients and families ask about neurological care and appointments.
Two locations in Hyderabad: KIMS Hospitals, Kompally in the mornings (9 AM – 5 PM, Mon–Sat) and Lifespan Hospital, Jeedimetla in the evenings (6 PM – 9 PM daily). Emergency access 24/7 through both hospitals.
Stroke and TIA, epilepsy and seizures, headache and migraine (including IIH), movement disorders, peripheral neuropathy, neuromuscular disorders, and general neurology — with in-house EEG/EMG testing for direct diagnosis.
Yes — electrophysiology testing (EEG/EMG) is done directly in clinic as part of the practice, rather than referred out to a separate lab. Faster diagnosis and better coordination of care.
Call +91 8121629954 to schedule a consultation at either location, use WhatsApp at the same number, use the location cards above for directions and hours, or book directly through the KIMS Hospitals profile page for the Kompally clinic.
Consultation fees vary slightly between hospitals. Call for current rates or book through KIMS directly.
Bring any previous medical reports, imaging (MRI/CT scans), medication lists, and a list of your symptoms. Having this information ready helps with faster diagnosis.
Yes. For stroke, seizures, or other neurological emergencies outside clinic hours, access the 24/7 emergency departments at KIMS Kompally or Lifespan Hospital Jeedimetla. Call +91 8121629954 to inform the practice of your emergency visit.
Yes. Follow-up appointments can be booked at either location, depending on your preference. Regular follow-ups are important for medication adjustments and monitoring progress.
Absolutely. Bring your previous reports and imaging, and we can review your case thoroughly and provide an independent assessment.
Yes. EEG, EMG, and routine nerve blocks (radicular, hydrodissection, steroid injections) are performed in clinic. DSA and other advanced procedures requiring hospital facilities are coordinated through the hospital's interventional radiology team.
Call emergency services (100) or go to the nearest emergency department immediately. Time is critical in stroke care — IV thrombolysis must be given within 4.5 hours of onset. Every minute counts.
Prescriptions for established patients can sometimes be arranged over the phone for routine refills. New medications generally require an in-person visit for proper assessment and monitoring.
