Patient selection for resective epilepsy surgery

Patient selection for
resective epilepsy surgery

For some patients with refractory epilepsy, surgery may be possible to remove the area of the brain causing the seizures. In order to determine if a patient would be suited for epilepsy surgery, a diagnostic test called a long-term video EEG must first be performed.

Long-term monitoring is an essential part of this decision process as a physician can combine both the video and the EEG of the patient during a seizure. This can help our doctor to understand if the patient is a candidate for surgery and to localize which part of the brain would require operation. Updated brain imaging studies and neuropsychiatry examination can also help to determine if the patient is a good candidate. Our neurologists will then coordinate with the neurosurgeon to determine the type of surgery that would be most beneficial.
