Epilepsy

Aicardi syndrome causes developmental delay, intellectual disability and frequent epileptic seizures.

Two-year-old Madelyn has been treated at Children's Minnesota and Minnesota Epilepsy Group for the specific type of epileptic seizure.

EFMN is proud to collaborate with Premier education sponsor Mayo Clinic and Signature education sponsors Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare, LivaNova, M Health/MINCEP Epilepsy Care, Minnesota Epilepsy Group and UCB, Inc. to bring you the first-ever Epilepsy & Seizures Wellness Expo.

The brain is one of the most complicated structures in the world. Doing surgery on the brain requires careful planning. The purpose of subdural grid placement surgery is to help surgeons create a plan for a second surgery that removes areas of the brain causing seizures.

Children’s Physician Access is available 24/7 with a representative on the line throughout the call to assist with referrals, consultations and admissions and to provide general information.
