Overview
The surgical epilepsy symposium is a regional event featuring lectures describing the resources and treatment option within the Riley Hospital for Children Surgical Epilepsy Program. Many patients with refractory seizures are referred either too late or to other epilepsy centers outside of Indiana; this opposes the mission of our program and Riley Hospital for Children. The targeted audience demographic includes patient caregivers and local caregivers including primary care doctors, community neurologists, and advanced practice providers.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to: 
  1. Identify when to refer a pediatric patient for a comprehensive evaluation for epilepsy surgery and what to expect following the referral.
  2. Describe the components of a comprehensive seizure surgery evaluation
  3. Describe cutting-edge technologies available for treating patients with medically refractory epilepsy
  4. Describe the surgically treatable epilepsies in children and the types of surgeries and outcomes following epilepsy surgery
