Not all epilepsy cases can be clearly diagnosed using routine tests like EEG, MRI, or PET scans. In this video, the Dr Suresh Babu P, HOD - Neurology, Arete Hospitals explains what happens when Level-1 investigations do not give clear answers and why some patients need advanced Level-2 epilepsy evaluations.
When doctors are unsure about the exact origin of seizures, they may recommend Stereo-EEG, an advanced procedure where fine electrodes are placed inside the brain to record seizures in real time. This helps specialists precisely identify where seizures are starting, which is crucial before considering epilepsy surgery or advanced treatment planning.
What you’ll learn from this video:
What Level-1 epilepsy investigations include (EEG, MRI, PET)
Why some patients need Level-2 investigations
What Stereo-EEG is and how it works
How real-time seizure recording helps doctors
Why precise seizure localization is essential before surgery
This video helps patients understand that advanced testing is done for accuracy and safety, ensuring the best possible treatment outcomes.
