Patient's question:
Hello expert, my son is 4 years old this year, and he has epilepsy. During the seizures, his right limbs twitch, and he becomes confused. The family is very anxious. I would like to consult if surgical treatment for children with epilepsy is good?Doctor's answer:
Choose the correct surgical treatment: When medication does not have a significant effect on the condition, some epilepsy patients may opt for surgical treatment, which involves the resection of cortical lesions. This can be achieved through craniotomy to directly remove the epileptic focus or to block the conduction pathways. However, if the surgery is performed in a non-regular hospital, there will naturally be a high risk involved. Therefore, it is essential to choose the most advanced surgical treatment.
