MedicaTRUST’s Neurology and Neurosurgery Departments offer comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for the most complex conditions. Both neurology and neurosurgery programs for adults and children work closely with other pediatric, radiological and oncologic disciplines to provide comprehensive care for our patients. Our contracted hospitals use the latest technology available in neurosurgery.

Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a completely clinical diagnosis. An accurate diagnosis can be made after the patient’s detailed history has been rested or after compliance has been observed. EEG (electroencephalography), brain MR (magnetic resonance), PET scanning, SPECT, and neuropsychological evaluation are methods that help diagnose epilepsy.
In MedicaTRUST’s Adult and Child Neurosurgery Units, any surgical intervention available in the epilepsy surgeon is performed. Although primary treatment of epilepsy is medical, approximately 20-30% of cases may not respond to drugs. In such patients, all three methods of epilepsy surgery (resection surgery, separation surgery, and vagal nerve stimulation) are successfully performed in our contracted patients
