When seizures continue despite medication, could epilepsy surgery be an option? In this informative podcast, Dr. Keni Ravish Rajiv, Senior Consultant – Neurology and Head of Epilepsy Services at Aster MIMS Calicut, along with Dr. Khaleel Rahman, Neurology Resident, discusses when epilepsy surgery may be considered, who may benefit from surgical treatment, and why timely evaluation is important.
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that can affect a person's daily life, independence, and overall well-being. While medication helps many people manage seizures, some may continue to experience seizures despite appropriate treatment. In such cases, a comprehensive evaluation by an epilepsy specialist can help determine whether epilepsy surgery or other advanced treatment options may be suitable.
This podcast explores the role of epilepsy surgery in managing drug-resistant epilepsy, the importance of identifying suitable candidates, and how specialised neurological assessment can help guide treatment decisions. It also highlights the need for greater awareness of epilepsy and related conditions, including Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).
At Aster MIMS Calicut, our Neurology and Epilepsy Services focus on comprehensive evaluation and individualised treatment approaches to support better seizure management and quality of life.
