We currently offer a wide range of resources for patients with seizure disorders who might consider surgery as an option for treatment.
Along with in-house video EEG monitoring to help determine the focus, or foci, of the seizures, we offer the comprehensive use of sodium-Amytal testing, MRI, functional MRI, neuropsychological testing and neuropsychiatric testing.
In addition, surgical procedures that might be indicated after a full evaluation include:
- Placement of subdural strips and grids
- Depth electrodes
- Temporal lobectomy and other focal resections
- Corpus callosotomy
- Vagus nerve stimulators
Many patients may be ideal candidates for surgical intervention, often with complete resolution of their seizures. While this is not always possible, it is becoming a safer and more reasonable option than ever before. Collaboration with members of the Neurology Department as well as the Behavioral Medicine Department is key to the successful management of these complex cases.
