Abstract

Seizures can happen when the electricity in the brain is not working properly. Seizures can cause people to shake and lose awareness, which can be very scary and prevent people from living normal lives. When medications do not work to take away the seizures, sometimes brain surgery can be done to treat them. This procedure starts when doctors take a special picture of the brain to see the area causing the seizures. Then they make an opening in the patient’s head to fix the problem in the brain. Part of the brain can be removed, or a special device that stimulates the brain with electricity can be implanted. It is important for everyone who has seizures or who knows someone with seizures to be aware of the option of surgery, because sometimes surgery can be a cure for the seizures.
