    Overview

  • Dr. Deepthi K is an experienced paediatric neurologist in Yeshwanthpur. Currently practising as a Consultant - Paediatric Neurology at Manipal Hospital Yeshwanthpur, she specialises in the treatment and management of epilepsy, neurodevelopmental disorders, and childhood neurological conditions. She holds an MBBS degree from Mysore Medical College, an MD in Paediatrics from AIIMS Jodhpur, and a DM in Paediatric Neurology from AIIMS New Delhi. Her clinical work is centred on early diagnosis, comprehensive evaluation, and evidence-based management of neurological disorders in infants, children, and adolescents.

  • Dr. Deepthi completed her DM training at AIIMS New Delhi, where she worked as a Paediatric Neurologist managing a wide spectrum of complex neurological conditions. Her clinical exposure includes epilepsy, cerebral palsy, neuromuscular disorders, neurogenetic syndromes, demyelinating diseases, developmental delays, and neuro-immunological disorders. She has been actively involved in structured neurological assessments, risk-based developmental screening, and long-term follow-up of children with chronic neurological conditions.

  • A core strength of Dr. Deepthi’s practice is her proficiency in neurological diagnostics. She is skilled in conducting and interpreting paediatric EEGs, evaluating neuroimaging studies, and performing comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments. She has hands-on experience with lumbar punctures and other essential neurological procedures. Her focused expertise also includes the evaluation and management of primary sleep disorders in children, with experience in analysing and reporting paediatric polysomnography. This enables her to provide integrated care for children with epilepsy, behavioural concerns, learning difficulties, and sleep-related neurological issues.

  • Dr. Deepthi has significant experience in managing children with autism spectrum disorders, attention-deficit disorders, learning disabilities, and complex developmental conditions. She works closely with psychologists, rehabilitation specialists, and educators to create holistic, multidisciplinary care plans that address both neurological health and functional outcomes. Her approach emphasises early intervention, family education, and long-term developmental support.

  • Prior to her super-specialty training, Dr. Deepthi served as Senior Resident in Paediatrics at AIIMS Jodhpur, where she gained extensive experience in acute paediatric care, neonatal and childhood illnesses, and the neurological complications of systemic diseases. This background has strengthened her ability to recognise early neurological red flags and manage children with overlapping medical and neurological needs.

  • Alongside clinical practice, Dr. Deepthi is actively involved in academic medicine and research. She has authored and co-authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in national and international journals, with research covering childhood epilepsy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, neurometabolic disorders, paediatric sleep problems, post-COVID neurological complications, and rare neurogenetic conditions. Her academic work reflects a strong interest in epilepsy, neurodevelopment, immune-mediated neurological disorders, and the role of sleep in paediatric neurological health.

  • She is also an award-winning academic presenter, having received recognition for original research at international and national child neurology forums. Her paper and poster presentations focus on epilepsy outcomes, paediatric neuroimmunology, movement disorders, and COVID-related neurological complications.

  • Dr. Deepthi is fluent in Kannada, English, and Hindi, enabling effective communication with children and families from diverse backgrounds. Known for her structured clinical evaluation, empathetic counselling, and commitment to interdisciplinary care, she aims to strengthen paediatric neurology services, improve early recognition of neurological disorders, and enhance long-term outcomes for children through timely, individualised intervention.
