For patients suffering with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), that cant be treated with medications, a minimally invasive laser procedure performed under MRI guidance provides a safe and effective alternative to surgery, according to a new study.Counsel & Heal...
A laser-based procedure for people with medication-resistant epilepsy may result in better memory function than standard surgery, while still providing comparable seizure control rates, doctors say. Daniel Drane, PhD, assistant professor of neurology at Emory University School of Medicine presented the ...

Five surgeries using this MRI-guided laser procedure have been successfully performed at Texas Children’s Hospital on pediatric epilepsy patients ranging in age from 5 to 15, with widely varied types of brain lesions. In all cases, patients have been seizure-free since surgery, and most were ...
The type of epilepsy surgery depends on the type of seizures and where they originate. Types of epilepsy surgery include: Invasive surgeries Invasive surgeries involve cutting open the skull to access the brain in a procedure known as craniotomy. ...
(SLAH)—a minimally invasive procedure using laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) to target and disable a small region of the brain’s temporal lobe—identifies eight clinical factors linked to a higher likelihood of becoming seizure-free post-surgery. These ...

and occasionally surgery[2,3]. Evidence of trepanation (making a burr hole in the skull) was found in the excavated prehistoric human remains from Neolithic times[1,4], and cave paintings suggest that ancient people believed this procedure would cure epilepsy, migraines, and mental disorders[4]...
This test, named for the doctor who first performed the procedure, Dr. Juhn Wada, is just one in a large suite of diagnostic testing that can be performed through CHLA’s Comprehensive Epilepsy Center. In fact, the process of evaluating a patient for epilepsy surgery starts with a series ...
