Advanced treatment for epilepsy depends on a detailed evaluation of your condition.
Finding the seizure focus in the brain is based on your symptoms, EEG neuroimaging, a neuropsychology exam, and sometimes chronic intracranial EEG (SEEG) studies.
The tools we use to learn the cause of your seizures include MRI, EEG video telemetry, and neuropsychology testing. In complex cases, further neuroimaging may be performed, such as advanced MRI sequencing, ictal single photo computed tomography (SPECT), and metabolic imaging using interictal 18 fluorodeoxy-glucose positron emission tomography.
More than 450 patients are served in the EMU at WVU each year. The neurology outpatient clinic served 1139 patients who have epilepsy in 2006.
