Epilepsy Surgery: An Issue of Neurosurgery Clinics
A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical activity between the brain's nerve cells. It can lead to changes in behavior, feelings, and in levels of consciousness, muscle control, etc. Epilepsy surgery is a surgical method concerned with the treatment of the brain. It is used to remove the part of the brain where seizures take place. There are several types of epilepsy surgeries and factors such as the site of the neurons that start the seizure and the age of the patient determine the type of surgery that should be performed. Resective surgery is the most common type of epilepsy surgical method. It involves the removal of a small portion of the brain. It is often performed in an area that controls language comprehension, visual memory and emotions, known as temporal lobe. Corpus callosotomy is another type of epilepsy surgery that involves complete or partial removal of the corpus callosum. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about epilepsy surgery. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for neurosurgery students.
