Suggest Treatment For Epilepsy

Hi All, I hope you are doing well! I am in rewa(mp), I have my brother who is suffering from epilepsy from a quite long time (around 16 years). In childhood he slipped on a stone during playing cricket. After one month we realized that he is suffering from fits. During those days we showed him to local good neurosurgeon, he took care of him but we didn t get any development in his injury. After that when fits were continuously coming twice in a month. My father took it very seriously n showed him to another neurosurgeon in jabalpur, he referred my brother for CT scan. We did whatever he said, we followed his course of tegritol n other medicines for around 3-4 years but didn t get better results. Meanwhile we took a appointment in AIIMS Delhi, there also we showed his results and as per docters advice we did his ECG. We followed AIIMS doctor course for around 4-5 years but also didn t get any results. Meanwhile my brother who was taking around 900 mg medicines on a daily basis was felt very week in his studies. My father was very disappointed during those days. That time we heard few similar cases got resolved by the Dr Kartekein (Neurosurgeon specialist) of Allahabad, my father did not lose his hope and another time we showed my brother and his all reports to him. We are in his course for almost 9-10 years but also did not getting any results. My brother was a bright student in his primary education but due to this epilepsy (fits) he has to sacrifice his whole career in it. His dream was to become Docter but due to these heavy dosses he is now a student of BA only. We have lost our hopes but i saw the reviews of your cases and is expecting some better result from you. My father is clerk in govt. Sector. Please let me know if can solve this case and help us from this curse. Please also let me if you need any reports of my brother, i ll send you through emails or if any appointment can workout. Really appreciated your help! Regard, Sandeep Rawat

Neurologist, Surgical 's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. There are a number o patients with epilepsy resistant from anti epileptic drugs, alone or in combination. Certain focal epilepsies with localization on temporal lobes of the brain are subject of treatment by surgery, (Functional Neurosurgery). The patients that may have benefit from this type of surgery are selected carefully from Neurologists and Functional Neurosurgeon, so I suggest you to visit a center whose speciality is in Functional Neurosurgery. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
