Patient's question:
Hello expert, my son is 4 years old this year and has epilepsy. During the attack, his right limbs twitch and he becomes confused. The family is very anxious. I would like to consult whether 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 done through craniotomy to directly remove the epileptic focus or to block the conduction pathways. However, if it is not a formal hospital, there will naturally be great risks during surgery, so it is essential to choose the most advanced surgical treatment. Beijing Epilepsy Hospital adopts shortwave impulse therapy.
