Epilepsy Surgery

Tests & more tests

In this Epilepsy Surgery video, participants recall the many medical tests they had to undergo leading up to, and following the surgery. The constant testing can often cause a considerable amount of stress for the person with epilepsy and their friends and family. 

In recent years, brain surgery has become a well recognised treatment for some types of epilepsy. These 'Speaking from Experience' clips offer first hand accounts from people who have undergone epilepsy surgery, and their families. Issues covered include pre-surgery testing, the decision for surgery and the recovery period for both adults and children.
