Comprehensive Epilepsy Center

The Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at Texas Neurology cares for patients with seizures and related disorders.

The Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at Texas Neurology serves the greater North Texas area by making diagnostic tests and treatment modalities accessible to patients with epilepsy. At Texas Neurology, we provide a thorough diagnostic evaluation, including different electroencephalogram options, such as routine, ambulatory EEG and/or inpatient video EEG monitoring, as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) available at our facility, both of which are gold standards in diagnosing epilepsy. If indicated, in addition to anti-epileptic drugs, epilepsy surgery evaluation may be discussed to know if this may be an option for improved patient outcomes.

Our goals are to help patients understand epilepsy, learn about the latest therapy options, and make informed decisions about their treatment. Patients with seizures that start from a single source in the brain are evaluated for epilepsy surgery combined with brain mapping in order to offer best precision in removing the seizure source without causing long term impairments.

Typically, if seizures have not been brought under control after three months of care by a primary care provider then further neurologic intervention by an epileptologist at an epilepsy center is appropriate such as Texas Neurology.

Also, if seizures have been managed by a general neurologist, and seizures have not been brought under control after 12 months, a referral to a specialized epilepsy center with an epileptologist is recommended with AAN Practice Parameter recommending early referral.

The Center's program includes a combination of services for inpatient and outpatient care. Services include:

  • Diagnosis of epilepsy and related conditions
  • Establishment of a medication plan considering factors such as seizure control, with little or no behavioral/cognitive manifestations
  • A six-bed epilepsy unit with on-line computer analysis for continuous EEG and video monitoring
  • Clinical trials of investigational drugs
  • Evaluation of intractable seizures for surgical treatment options
  • Preoperative and postoperative care following epilepsy surgery
  • On-going management of device if placed including VNS and/or RNS
  • Psychosocial assessments and rehabilitation referrals
  • Educational and social support groups
  • Management of epilepsy before, during and after pregnancy
  • EEG Testing (routine and long-term monitoring)
  • 1.5T and 3T MRI utilizing advanced brain imaging technologies

Intractable epilepsy treatment goals include:

  • Localizing the seizure focus in the brain
  • Revising/stabilizing the medication regimen
  • Offering surgical removal of the source of seizures, if needed
  • Providing surgical devices that have been shown to have significant seizure reduction in trials, such as vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) or responsive neuro-stimulation (RNS also known as Neuropace).
