Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Epilepsy surgery for children has expanded significantly as a concept in the last 20 years, as it is now widely recognized that it can be tremendously successful in transforming the lives of children suffering from uncontrolled seizures and their families. Advances in the clinical neurosciences, as well as in neurosurgery, pediatric anesthesia, and pediatric neuroradiology, which have increased the efficacy and safety of pediatric epilepsy surgery, coupled with the now well-established concept that uncontrolled seizures are detrimental for the child’s developing brain, have shifted the risk-benefit profile in favor of early surgery in the appropriate patient.
