Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital
Our dedicated pediatric epilepsy program provides specialized care for intractable epilepsy. We offer comprehensive epilepsy treatment options, including video EEG monitoring, medical management, immunotherapy and the ketogenic diet.
Epilepsy surgery, including vagus nerve stimulation, is also available. Our epileptologists work closely with our pediatric epilepsy surgeon to ensure a free flow of information about each patient’s particular needs.
Our specialized eight-bed epilepsy monitoring unit is the largest and most comprehensive of its kind in the South. Dedicated to compassionate care of infants, children and adolescents with seizure disorders, the unit offers the latest in diagnosis and treatment of epileptic conditions, from the ketogenic diet to medical therapy and surgical intervention.
