‘Patient fell asleep mid-surgery. What happened next taught me a vital lesson'
Dr Gurneet Singh Sawhney Sir, please help me.' It was a busy Monday morning in my OPD when I heard those words. Even before he introduced himself, I could hear the anxiety in Anil's trembling voice. Frail and slumped in a wheelchair, he was accompanied by his wife who looked visibly distressed. A house help in Navi Mumbai, she had taken time off work to tend to him. An employee at a small workshop, Anil hadn't been able to report to work for the last few weeks. About a month earlier, he had started losing balance and developed blurred vision. He felt like he'd topple while walking and his speech had turned robotic. Worried, the couple had gone to a hospital to report the symptoms. There, an MRI revealed a large tumour in the pons — a critical part of the brainstem that controls vital functions. Surgery was scheduled, but at the last minute, the hospital backed out, citing high risk. Anil was sent home. He approached other hospitals but got no clear answers. Exhausted but clinging to hope, he came to us. I saw classic signs of a pontine lesion: abnormal eye movements, slurred speech, unsteady gait, cerebellar swelling. The MRI also showed unexplained cerebellar inflammation and signs of hydrocephalus — fluid buildup in the brain. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Rare, Refined, and Ready Soon – Monte South is the Answer Monte South A Joint Venture between Adani Realty and Marathon Realty Learn More Undo Something didn't quite add up. We decided to proceed with a stereotactic biopsy in the brainstem, a delicate, high-stakes procedure called 'no man's land' for a reason — coma or paralysis are real possibilities. You don't see what you're doing directly; everything is guided by imaging and meticulous planning. Anil was terrified. 'Will this help me? Should I just get the whole tumour removed? Will I survive this?' His earlier experience had left him shaken. I reassured him: without the biopsy, we wouldn't know what we were truly dealing with. Despite the risks, I was confident we could carry it out safely. He consented. During the awake procedure, Anil chatted with me in Marathi about wanting to return to his village and farm again. 'Yes, definitely, we will make that happen,' I promised. But just as I reached the lesion, he suddenly dozed off. The anaesthetist panicked: 'Sir, he's not responding!' I knew what had happened. I had touched the reticular activating system — part of the brain responsible for consciousness. His sudden sleep confirmed we were exactly at the right spot. We took the sample and sent it for frozen section analysis. Then came a surprising call from the microbiologist: It was TB. I was stunned. I've seen TB affect almost every part of the body — except maybe tooth enamel — but the brainstem? That's extremely rare Dr Sawhney The pathologist confirmed abnormal tissue, likely a low-grade tumour. This was expected. But then came a surprising call from the microbiologist: It was tuberculosis (TB). I was stunned. I've seen TB affect almost every part of the body — except maybe tooth enamel — but the brainstem? That's extremely rare. 'Are you sure?' I asked. She double-checked. 'Yes.' In medical school, we're taught to look for one unifying diagnosis. But Anil had two: a tumour causing pressure and TB causing inflammation and swelling. This changed everything. We immediately began aggressive TB treatment while managing the tumour conservatively. At first, Anil improved. But within days, he became drowsy again. A follow-up MRI showed worsening hydrocephalus — a known complication when dying TB bacteria block brain fluid pathways. I performed a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt to drain excess fluid and relieve pressure. The results were immediate. His headaches eased, he sat up, and his responses became clearer. He was discharged the next day. A week later, he returned, visibly better. Since then, his recovery has been steady. Anil now walks into my OPD with confidence. 'I'm feeling better now,' he tells me. 'And I want to feel even better.' That's my true reward. Neurosurgery is emotionally intense. You witness both miraculous recoveries and devastating outcomes. To cope, I meditate every night. But Anil's story has stayed with me. Scanning his brain taught me a vital lesson: never assume there's only one culprit. TB can be a silent player in neurology, and since Anil, I've diagnosed other cases where something hidden — like TB — was the missing piece. Medicine isn't always about finding a neat, singular answer. Sometimes, your gut tells you there's more to the story. Anil reminded me to trust that instinct and to never stop digging. Dr Sawhney is senior consultant, neurosurgery and spine surgery at Fortis Mulund & Vashi. He spoke to Sharmila Ganesan Ram

MRI equipment to ensure safe, reliable train operations
Visakhapatnam: As part of its ongoing commitment to safety and efficiency in electric traction operations, Indian Railways adopted advanced Measuring, recording, and instrumentation (MRI) equipment. The state-of-the-art technology can be retrofitted onto tower cars to continuously monitor and record critical parameters of overhead equipment (OHE) such as contact wire stagger, contact wire height, and the precise positioning of traction distribution assets using GPS data. Waltair Division of East Coast Railway has also adopted this technology, ensuring safety and punctuality of the train operations. Divisional Railway Manager Lalit Bohra said that the pantograph maintenance posed challenges for electric trains. The pantograph, mounted on the rooftop of locomotives, is vital for maintaining uninterrupted contact with the overhead catenary that supplies power to the train. Traditional manual inspections, typically performed at depots, may not always detect emerging faults in time, potentially leading to overhead wiring failures, extended delays, costly repairs, and significant safety risks. To address these challenges, Indian Railways is leveraging MRI technology to enable real-time monitoring and proactive maintenance of pantographs and OHE, the DRM explained. Senior divisional electrical engineer (TRD) Shivanad Prasad opined that with the deployment of MRI scan equipment, it can swiftly analyse any changes in OHE parameters resulting from engineering works, modernisation efforts or routine maintenance. By minimising breakdowns and delays, MRI equipment plays a crucial role in ensuring trains run safely and punctually, allowing passengers to reach their destinations securely and in time, the officials underlined.

'This new research MRI facility will enable research and innovation in imaging and support IIT Delhi's efforts to create new knowledge at the interface of science, engineering, and medicine to make an impact in healthcare,' said Prof. Rangan Banerjee, Director of IIT Delhi. Located within the Centre for Biomedical Engineering (CBME) at IIT Delhi, the facility will initially support research using phantoms and, with appropriate regulatory approvals, will extend to clinical studies involving volunteers. It will also serve as a hands-on training platform for students enrolled in IIT Delhi medical imaging courses, enhancing their practical exposure to advanced imaging technologies. According to CBME's Prof. Anup Singh and Prof. Amit Mehndiratta, who led this visionary initiative, the dream to establish such a facility 'was visualised five years ago'. The facility will offer a new dimension to teaching and learning in medical imaging at the varsity. It was initiated on July 9 and the first MRI safety session was conducted by the B-MEC Imaging Pvt. Ltd., who installed the MRI scanner. 'This advanced imaging facility will help several researchers from different disciplines at IIT Delhi. This will also open up several opportunities for research collaborations with medical institutes in NCR and across India,' said Prof. Vivek Buwa, Dean of Planning, IIT Delhi.
