Brain Surgery & How succesfull?

Mon, 03/13/2006 - 14:34
Hi everyone, I have temporal Lobe Epilepsy. I have clinical Partial seizures. I am being considered for Surgery. I have gone through a lot of the process already. I had a PET Scan and MRI there over a week ago. I have had Video teletry done and EEGs blood tests etc. I am going for a WADA test next week. I would like to find someone in Ireland who has had surgery and it has been successful. I have already emailed the Epilpesy association but I have had no response to my query yet. Has anyone any advice? Thanks Raid

Hi Raid, I'm from Ireland. Had an amygdalahippocampectomy in 1992 and remain seizure free since then.
