Cleveland Clinic is ranked
6th in the nation for
Neurology and Neurosurgery by
U.S. News & World Report.

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, affecting up to 1 percent of the population in the United States. Plus, more than 45,000 children ages 18 and younger are diagnosed with epilepsy every year.

For some patients, anticonvulsant medications have failed to control their epilepsy or they are experiencing intolerable side effects from anticonvulsants. In these situations, surgery may be contemplated as a viable option.

Cleveland Clinic's Epilepsy Center is one of the largest and most comprehensive programs in the world for the evaluation and treatment of epilepsy in both children and adults. More than 300 patients with medication-resistant epilepsy undergo surgical procedures annually at Cleveland Clinic Epilepsy Center. The Epilepsy Center is one of a few medical centers in the country that has been instrumental in using 3-D mapping to pinpoint the focus of seizures and improve surgical outcomes.

"It was really difficult to give up my independence. But the thought of being alone again during a grand mal seizure scared me. After surgery, I was able to work as an attorney. I'm even able to drive a Volvo to work every day"

Kelly Labby, a Cleveland Clinic Epilepsy Surgery patient from New York
