Abstract

Neurostimulation for epilepsy is a rapidly expanding field. Since the introduction of vagus nerve stimulation more than 15 yr ago, there have been new developments in the area, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neuro- stimulation.

Little is known about the application of these new modalities in pediatric population. Case reports and case series of DBS including pediatric population are summarized.
