State-of-the-art diagnostics

Epilepsy can manifest in many ways, so treatment is individualized as much as possible. Children's Epilepsy Center provides a unique approach to determining the best way to treat children with this condition. The laboratory is equipped with a state-of-the-art imaging and monitoring system that records visual images of children as they play. The system simultaneously records the child's brain electrical pattern, which gives doctors the entire picture of how the epilepsy is affecting the child. This method ensures optimal treatment unique to each young patient.

The plan of care

A child's care may include a range of treatment from medication to changes in diet to surgery. Depending on the cause of the epilepsy, the symptoms the child exhibits, the child's age, and other factors, Children's epileptologist will prescribe a plan of care geared toward obtaining the best possible outcome.
