Comprehensive Epilepsy Center

Epilepsy ranks as the second most prevalent neurological disorder in the U.S., affecting over three million Americans, second only to stroke. This chronic ailment is characterized by recurring spontaneous seizures, triggered by various underlying factors. 

Epilepsy is classified into several different types, and the treatment may vary depending on the classification and cause of a patient’s seizures.

Monitorización de la epilepsia pediátrica
Aunque se puede hacer un diagnóstico de epilepsia a cualquier edad, la mayoría de los pacientes desarrollan síntomas en la adolescencia entre los 13 y 16 años. Por este motivo, ofrecemos monitorización de la epilepsia pediátrica en la División de Neurología Infantil y Medicina del Desarrollo de Goryeb Children’s Hospital. Nuestros especialistas en epilepsia colaboran con neurocirujanos pediátricos, especialistas en epilepsia y demás subespecialistas pediátricos para diseñar el mejor plan de tratamiento para el niño. Once these patients reach adulthood, their care is seamlessly transferred to our Comprehensive Epilepsy Center.

Epilepsy Monitoring Unit for Evaluation of Seizures

The epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) evaluates seizures to help guide future management of your seizures. Patients are typically admitted on Monday morning and are discharged three to five days later. Learn what an EMU is for and how to prepare for one if prescribed by your physician.
