Epilepsy Program

The Epilepsy Center at Seton Brain & Spine Institute was created to treat severe cases of epilepsy—where quality of life is profoundly impacted and medication is not an effective option.

The Epilepsy Center is comprised of experts in all epilepsy-related fields and includes epileptologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, and neuro-psychologists. Our comprehensive team offers the full spectrum of treatment options and works collaboratively to produce extraordinary patient outcomes. Specially trained, designated nursing staff monitor and care for patients.

Our team works to create a complete treatment plan to help patients reclaim their lives by identifying the source of the seizure. Our Epilepsy Monitoring Unit at University Medical Center Brackenridge employs state-of-the-art EEG monitoring equipment for continuous video. Our Epilepsy Monitoring Unit is the largest in Central Texas, putting the Institute at the forefront of epilepsy research, diagnostics, and solutions.

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is caused by abnormal bursts of electrical activity in the brain. Repeated, unprovoked seizures often happen without warning and may cause problems with muscle control, movement, speech, vision or awareness. Without treatment seizures may become worse and more frequent over time.
