My 72-year-old father, who had no prior health concerns, suddenly lost consciousness and fell on March 30, 2025. In a state of worry and uncertainty, our family rushed him to Sarvodaya Hospital, Greater Noida West. With so many questions racing through our minds, we were referred to Dr. Gangesh Gunjan, a senior neurosurgeon, for further consultation.
After a thorough examination, my father was diagnosed with Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT), accompanied by a traumatic brain injury, subdural hematoma (SDH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Simply put, he had suffered a stroke due to a blocked vein in his brain, leading to both clot formation and internal bleeding. The injury also caused blood to accumulate between the brain and its outer protective layer, as well as between the brain and the meninges.
Understanding the urgency of the situation, Dr. Gangesh swiftly diagnosed the problem and performed a complex six-hour surgery on the second day itself. My father remained in the ICU for nearly two months, including two weeks of home care. On follow-up, he developed hydrocephalus with seizures, for which he was planned for VP shunt surgery but due to high protein content and suspected meningitis in CSF, his CSF was continuously drained through the reservoir placed during the initial surgery. Once CSF picture improved, VP Shunt surgery was done, with gradual improvement in my father’s condition.
The severity of my father’s condition cannot be overstated, yet today, he is able to express himself—though he still cannot speak due to a tracheostomy. This miraculous recovery is entirely due to Dr. Gangesh’s expertise, dedication, and professionalism. He never hesitated to address our concerns, was always available for guidance, and treated us with compassion and empathy. A truly genuine and kind-hearted doctor, he not only healed my father but supported our family every step of the way. I would highly recommend him to others who may need expert neurosurgical care.
Last but not least, a heartfelt thank you to Dr.Dhawal Sharma for his unwavering support and expertise throughout my father's stay- from admission to discharge. Your dedication made a meaningful difference.
