Neurology and Neurosurgery Department at Vivekananda Hospital, Begumpet
Most people do not think about their brain and spine until something goes wrong. A sudden headache that will not go away, numbness in the hands, a seizure that came out of nowhere, or a family member who had a stroke. These situations need a neurologist who can diagnose the problem accurately and a neurosurgeon who can operate if needed. We have both at Vivekananda Hospital. What makes this department unusual for a 100-bed hospital in Begumpet is that Dr. Venkatesh Yeddula, a senior neurosurgeon from CARE Hospitals with over 12,000 surgeries behind him, consults here three days a week. You get the same surgeon who operates at CARE, right here at a fraction of the cost.

Neurology and Neurosurgery at Vivekananda Hospital
This department handles two sides of brain and spine care. The neurology side, led by Dr. G. Manvitha Reddy, deals with conditions that are managed with medicines and monitoring. Think migraines, epilepsy, stroke recovery, Parkinson's disease, nerve damage, vertigo, and sleep disorders. She is a DrNB-qualified neurologist who earned a Gold Medal and University Rank during her training. When patients come in with sudden neurological symptoms, she is the one who figures out whether it is a stroke, a seizure, a nerve problem, or something else entirely.
The neurosurgery side handles cases that need an operation. Dr. K.V.V. Rajashekhar is the full-time neurosurgeon here, available six days a week. He manages head injuries, performs brain surgeries, and does endoscopic spine procedures for patients with disc problems and spinal compression. For complex neurosurgical cases, patients can also consult Dr. Venkatesh Yeddula, who visits Vivekananda Hospital three days a week from CARE Hospitals, Banjara Hills. Dr. Venkatesh has performed over 12,000 major neurosurgical procedures across his career, including 7,000+ spinal surgeries and 5,000+ cranial surgeries. He is one of the most experienced neurosurgeons in Hyderabad, and he operates on cases here that would otherwise require admission at a corporate hospital.
Having a neurologist and two neurosurgeons in the same department means that a patient who walks in with a headache and gets diagnosed with a brain tumour does not need to be referred out. The diagnosis, imaging, surgical planning, and surgery can all happen within the same hospital. We also have CT scan available round the clock, which is critical for stroke patients where every minute matters. For MRI and EEG, we work with diagnostic centres nearby and can get results back quickly.

Stroke Assessment and Management
Time matters in stroke. We have CT scan available 24/7 to confirm whether a stroke is ischaemic or haemorrhagic. Dr. Manvitha Reddy initiates treatment within the critical window and manages the recovery process including rehabilitation planning. If surgical intervention is needed for a haemorrhagic stroke, the neurosurgery team takes over immediately.
Epilepsy Diagnosis and Treatment
Seizures can have many causes, and getting the diagnosis right determines whether the treatment works. Dr. Manvitha Reddy evaluates patients with EEG (arranged through our tie-up centre), imaging, and clinical assessment to identify the type of epilepsy and prescribe the right medication. For patients whose seizures do not respond to medicines, surgical options are discussed with the neurosurgery team.
Headache and Migraine Clinic
Not every headache is a migraine, and not every migraine needs the same treatment. Dr. Manvitha Reddy evaluates the pattern, triggers, and severity to differentiate between tension headaches, migraines, cluster headaches, and headaches caused by underlying conditions. Treatment plans include both acute relief and long-term prevention strategies.
Movement Disorders and Parkinson's Care
Tremors, stiffness, slow movement, and balance problems are symptoms that need proper neurological evaluation. Dr. Manvitha Reddy manages Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and other movement disorders with medication adjustments and monitoring. For patients who are candidates for deep brain stimulation, Dr. Venkatesh Yeddula has experience performing the procedure.
Neuropathy and Nerve Disorders
Numbness, tingling, burning sensations, and weakness in the hands or feet often point to nerve damage. This is especially common in diabetic patients and people with vitamin deficiencies. Dr. Manvitha Reddy diagnoses the cause through nerve conduction studies (NCV/EMG arranged at partner centres) and starts targeted treatment.
Neuro-Critical Care
Patients with severe neurological emergencies like status epilepticus, large strokes, brain infections, or Guillain-Barre syndrome need ICU-level monitoring. Dr. Manvitha Reddy manages these cases in coordination with our Critical Care team. The 24/7 CT scan and in-house ICU allow rapid response without needing to transfer patients elsewhere.
Neurosurgery Services
Brain Tumour Surgery
Both Dr. K.V.V. Rajashekhar and Dr. Venkatesh Yeddula perform brain tumour removals at Vivekananda Hospital. Dr. Venkatesh has done over 1,000 brain tumour surgeries in his career, including awake craniotomies where the patient is kept conscious during surgery to protect critical brain functions. This level of expertise is typically only available at large corporate hospitals.
Neuro-Trauma and Head Injury Surgery
Head injuries from accidents, falls, or assaults need immediate CT scan and often urgent surgery. Dr. Rajashekhar is available six days a week and handles emergency craniotomies, burr hole drainage, and skull fracture repairs. The 24/7 CT scan and emergency OT mean there is no delay in getting a head injury patient into surgery when needed.
Spine Surgery (Disc and Decompression)
Slipped discs, spinal stenosis, and nerve compression in the neck or lower back can cause severe pain and weakness. Dr. Rajashekhar performs endoscopic spine procedures that use smaller incisions, cause less tissue damage, and allow faster recovery compared to open surgery. For more complex spinal cases, Dr. Venkatesh Yeddula, who has done 7,000+ spine surgeries, is available three days a week.
Spinal Fixation and Fusion
Spinal fractures from accidents or osteoporosis, unstable spinal segments, and conditions like spondylolisthesis sometimes require fixation with screws and rods. Both neurosurgeons perform spinal instrumentation and fusion procedures at Vivekananda Hospital.
VP Shunt for Hydrocephalus
When fluid builds up in the brain, it creates pressure that can cause headaches, vision problems, and cognitive decline. A VP shunt diverts the excess fluid to the abdomen where the body absorbs it. This is a relatively straightforward procedure for our neurosurgeons, and it provides immediate relief for patients with hydrocephalus.
Peripheral Nerve Surgery
Carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve injuries from trauma, and nerve entrapment conditions can be treated surgically when medicines and physiotherapy are not enough. Dr. Rajashekhar performs nerve decompression and repair procedures to restore function and relieve pain.
Meet Your Neurology and Neurosurgery Team
Dr. G. Manvitha Reddy
Dr. Manvitha Reddy is the Consultant Neurologist at Vivekananda Hospital. She earned a Gold Medal and University Rank during her neurology training, which tells you the kind of academic foundation she brings to clinical work. She handles the medical side of brain and nerve care: stroke evaluation, epilepsy management, headache diagnosis, Parkinson's disease, neuropathy, vertigo, and neuro-critical care in the ICU. Patients in the Begumpet area see her for both urgent neurological symptoms and ongoing management of chronic conditions.
Dr. K.V.V. Rajashekhar
Dr. Rajashekhar is the full-time Consultant Neurosurgeon at Vivekananda Hospital, available six days a week. He handles emergency head injuries, performs brain surgeries, and specialises in endoscopic spine procedures. Endoscopic spine surgery uses smaller incisions and causes less tissue damage than traditional open surgery, which means patients recover faster and spend fewer days in the hospital. He is the first point of contact for all neurosurgical emergencies that come through our 24/7 emergency department.
Dr. Venkatesh Yeddula Visiting from CARE Hospitals
Dr. Venkatesh Yeddula is one of the most experienced neurosurgeons in Hyderabad. He has performed over 12,000 major neurosurgical procedures across his career, including more than 7,000 spine surgeries and 5,000 cranial surgeries. His primary practice is at CARE Hospitals, Banjara Hills, but he visits Vivekananda Hospital three days a week. He is skilled in awake craniotomies, deep brain stimulation, minimally invasive spine surgery, and endoscopic neurosurgery. For patients who need the expertise of a CARE Hospitals neurosurgeon but cannot afford corporate hospital pricing, his OPD at Vivekananda offers a real alternative.

Gold Medalist Neurologist
Dr. Manvitha Reddy earned a Gold Medal and University Rank during her DrNB Neurology training. Academic credentials like these mean she was among the top in the country during her training. That kind of diagnostic precision matters when someone walks in with vague symptoms and needs an accurate diagnosis fast.
CT Scan Available 24/7
For stroke patients, the difference between a good outcome and a permanent disability can come down to minutes. Our in-house CT scan runs round the clock. A patient who arrives with stroke symptoms gets scanned immediately, without waiting for an appointment or transfer to a diagnostic centre.
Full-Time Neurosurgeon Six Days a Week
Dr. Rajashekhar is at the hospital Monday to Saturday. Head injuries and neurosurgical emergencies do not happen on a schedule. Having a neurosurgeon on site every working day means emergency cases go from CT scan to OT without delay.
CGHS and Insurance Cashless
Brain and spine surgeries can be expensive. We are empanelled with CGHS, ESI, Arogyabhadratha, and over 25 private insurance companies. Neurology consultations, neurosurgery, CT scans, and ICU stays are available on cashless basis for eligible patients.
Neurologist + Neurosurgeon Under One Roof
A patient who walks in with a headache sees the neurologist first. If imaging reveals a tumour or bleed that needs surgery, the neurosurgeon is in the same building. There is no referral to another hospital, no re-registration, no repeating tests. The diagnosis and the surgery happen in one place.
