Neurosurgery for Epilepsy?
A significant portion of individuals with epilepsy may require neurosurgery, particularly those whose seizures are unresponsive to medication. This population consists of individuals with seizures originating from a single location in the brain, as surgery can be effective in these cases. However, seizures that stem from multiple areas or involve the entire brain necessitate alternative treatment strategies. Today, neurosurgery encompasses more than just excising brain tissue; innovative techniques such as the use of stimulators that modulate brain activity have become common and can significantly decrease seizure frequency. Additionally, the ketogenic diet, which may not have been originally intended for epilepsy treatment, has proven beneficial for some patients by altering brain function and reducing seizures, though its effectiveness varies among individuals and warrants further investigation.
