The Association of Sri Lankan Neurologists conducts a series of monthly Grand Rounds at the ClinMARC Auditorium of the National Hospital of Sri Lanka.
The objective of the Neurology Grand Round is to discuss patients with neurological disorders, which teaches the practising clinician important aspects in the diagnostic approach, management and prognosis. These could include rare as well as common neurological disorders, but all of which will have an educational value from basic neurosciences to applied clinical neurology.
Each case will be presented by a Consultant Neurologist led Unit in Sri Lanka.
Grand Round 01 – 5th June 2025
The Grand Round titled “Infectious Whispers: Unmasking Neurological Chameleons” was held at the Epilepsy Auditorium, NHSL, on the 5th of June 2025 under the guidance of Dr. Bimsara Senanayake. Senior Registrars Dr. Sujarnie Sureshkumar presented the case “More Than Meets the Eye”, Dr. Pavithira Sathiyaseelan presented “Second Strike to the Brain – Autoimmune Sequelae after HSV Encephalitis”, and Dr. Arun Rajaratnam presented “Unmasking the Imposter: The Forgotten Face of Measles”. With over 100 attendees, key messages emphasized diagnostic vigilance and awareness of atypical neurological presentations.
