For people, their face is the introduction to the rest of the world. But to be introduced to facial pain and to face it for 2-3 years is too much to ask from someone. Such is the story of MR MD Ali Akbar, a patient from Bangladesh who came to Manipal Hospital Bangalore seeking relief. With the help of Dr Bopanna K M, HOD & Consultant, Neurosurgery. Dr Bopanna treated Mr Ali Akbar through Microvascular Decompression, effectively providing him with pain relief and giving back to him his ability to talk.
