The comprehensive epilepsy management programme offers a complete range of investigations and treatment for both adults and children who suffer from seizures or recurrent epileptic fits.

The programme, carried out by a dedicated and highly experienced medical and surgical team, is further aided by superior investigative technology encompassing:

24-hour EEG and video monitoring
This aids in ascertaining if the patient actually suffers from seizures and to determine the type of seizure.

Advanced imaging modalities
A full range of modern epilepsy imaging technology such as the powerful 3-Tesla MRI, and SPECT and PET scanners which offer superior diagnosis resulting in accurate treatment and after-care.

The programme also offers:

• Neuro-psychology assessment
  Where necessary, a comprehensive evaluation of memory and language function would be assessed by an experienced neuro-psychologist.
  
• Epilepsy surgery
  A niche service available here and carried out by specially trained and highly experienced neurosurgeons and a team of support personnel with epileptology experience. Complex cutting-edge techniques in epilepsy surgery include awake craniotomy. During brain surgery to treat epilepsy, the patient is awakened while the tumour is being removed, in order to test patient's speech or movement functions.
  
• Neuro-pathology services
  A team of leading pathologists with extensive experience in neuro-pathology services.
