📌 Brief Overview of Surgery for drug refractory epilepsy.
📌 Understand how Epilepsy surgeons utilize Interictal PET and other imaging modalities to define epileptogenic zones.

Dr. Tarang K. Vora, is a highly accomplished Consultant Pediatric and Epilepsy Neurosurgeon at Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. With over 13 years of neurosurgical experience, Dr. Vora brings deep expertise in the surgical management of complex pediatric neurological disorders, with a special focus on epilepsy surgery and functional neurosurgery.

Dr. Vora’s work is of particular relevance to us in nuclear medicine, as he regularly collaborates with imaging specialists for pre-surgical planning—leveraging modalities such as PET, SPECT, and functional MRI to localize epileptogenic zones and guide minimally invasive neurosurgical interventions. His international training at the Claudio Munari Centre for Epilepsy Surgery in Milan and AIIMS Delhi underscores his commitment to integrating advanced diagnostic imaging into neurosurgical decision-making.

A prolific contributor to academic literature, Dr. Vora has published widely on pediatric neurosurgery and neuro-oncology, fields where close coordination with nuclear medicine enhances patient outcomes. His talk offers a valuable perspective on interdisciplinary collaboration between neurosurgery and nuclear medicine in managing challenging neurological cases.
