Peripheral neuropathy is often synonymous with diabetes in clinical discussions, but a range of lesser-known causes can be equally significant and easily missed. From autoimmune disorders to nutritional deficiencies and toxic exposures, identifying these rare etiologies requires a systematic approach and keen clinical insight.

In this session, Dr. Vimala Colaco will take clinicians beyond the common diabetic paradigm to explore rare causes of peripheral neuropathy and a structured diagnostic workup. Through case-based discussion and practical guidance, participants will gain clarity on when to suspect atypical etiologies, how to interpret key investigations, and how early recognition can influence outcomes.

Peripheral Neuropathies: Rare causes and workup beyond Diabetes

Epilepsy is a complex neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures affecting approximately 50 million people worldwide.

Recent advances in stroke care have significantly enhanced our ability to treat this condition and minimize its long-term effects. Join us as Neurologist Dr. Vimala Colaco discusses key aspects of stroke management and recent advances, bringing her expertise in diagnosing and treating this challenging condition.
