Curing Epilepsy: Improved Procedures, Improved Outcomes

In the Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Program at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, patients with epilepsy are offered an effective surgical treatment when conventional medication therapy fails to control or stop their seizures. The program's specialists are able to identify children who are unlikely to respond to further medications, and its distinctive surgical therapies can dramatically improve the lives of these children.

Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC will present a Pediatric Grand Rounds lecture titled "Curing Epilepsy: Improved Procedures, Improved Outcomes" The presenters, P. David Adelson, MD, and Deborah L. Holder, MD, are surgical director and medical director, respectively, of Children's Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Program, one of the most advanced, successful and busiest such programs in the nation.

Drs. Adelson and Holder will discuss the current status and future developments in pediatric epilepsy surgery.
