Johns Hopkins pediatric neurosurgeons have expertise in several treatments designed to address stubborn or frequent seizures that do not respond to medication, including laser interstitial thermal therapy, or LiTT. Advanced imaging techniques both before and during the procedures optimize safety and effectiveness.
Our fellowship-trained pediatric neurosurgeons have extensive experience and skill in vagus nerve stimulator placement, corpus callosotomy and hemispherectomy.
Patients with challenging seizure disorders can be monitored in Johns Hopkins’ specialized Epilepsy Monitoring Units (EMU). These inpatient units are staffed with specially trained medical and nursing staff and technologists who carefully watch each patient’s seizure activity during their stay. The EMU’s computer-based monitoring equipment is specially designed to evaluate seizure disorders and can help your child’s doctors recommend the best treatment.
At Johns Hopkins, your child will benefit from the combined insights of neurosurgeons, epilepsy specialists, occupational therapists and others, who review your child’s unique needs and develop an individualized treatment plan.
