Seizures

This week's grand rounds will feature:

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.

We know you may want to dig for more information, so we gathered these easy-to-digest materials and resources from pediatric organizations in Minnesota and beyond.

At Children's Minnesota, we know that dealing with epilepsy can make kids — not to mention parents — a bundle of nerves. Rest assured that when your child comes to Children's for monitoring or surgery, care and comfort are always our top priorities.

The epilepsy team assembled by Children’s Minnesota is respected by pediatricians around the country. The team specializes in diagnosing and treating all kinds of disorders that cause seizures in kids. And when it comes to managing complex needs, a full range of pediatric subspecialists is available at our fingertips.
