About Dr. Arun Kumar M
Professional summary
Dr. Arun Kumar M is a Consultant Adult and Pediatric Neurologist and Epileptologist at Rela Hospital in Chennai, with more than 17 years of experience. His profile records neurology together with paediatric neurology.
His list is led by epilepsy. It covers epilepsy treatment, drug-resistant epilepsy and pre-surgical evaluation and workup for epilepsy surgery, with video EEG, EEG and evoked potentials behind it. The rest covers Parkinson's disease with deep brain stimulation evaluation and programming, stroke treatment and IV thrombolysis, migraine and chronic headache with nerve block, multiple sclerosis, dystonia and botulinum toxin therapy.
His training crossed four states and two specialties. He read MBBS at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute in Puducherry in 2009, took his MD in paediatrics at Veer Surendra Sai Medical College in Odisha in 2015, his DM in neurology at Government Thanjavur Medical College in 2019, a fellowship in epilepsy at Gleneagles Global Health City in Chennai from 2019 to 2020, and the DrNB in neurology at St. John's Medical College in Bangalore in 2023.
A paediatric MD before a neurology DM is what places adult and paediatric neurology side by side in his designation.
He won the best platform presentation award at TANCON Erode in 2023 for work on the utility of stereo-electroencephalography for epilepsy surgery in drug-resistant epilepsy, which is the invasive recording method used in exactly the pre-surgical workup on his list. He was an ILAE VIREPA course participant with partial bursary in 2023, and has presented at EAN Budapest and at TANCON, PEDICON and IANCON.
