Dear Dr. Omar Danoun; Thank you for your aspiring knowledge videos all about Epilepsy. May God bless you. In our case, corpus callosotomy surgery failed with averting Generalized Grand Mal and Drop seizures. In our case, could you please advise me on mordern advancements in how one can identify or localize a Generalized seizure-originating point for surgical intervention to stop seizures? If you could explore this topic as Video, it would be beneficial to me and others. With Kind regards. M.Subrah
Hi Doctor, I have had these seizures for almost 4 years. Now I am going through extreme depression because of their actions in my life. Kindly suggest some solution to the fact that they are not getting reduced by many medications.
When medications do not work then this is drug resistant epilepsy and needs different treatment which we explained in details in the video on drug resistant epilepsy... Also epilepsy is associated with depression that needs treatment as well. Please discuss with your neurologist
@@DrOmarDanoun I've had seizures for four years. I have a tiny dot on both sides(one is in memory place), according to my surgeon. He stated that following surgery, he would also show me the part of my skull that was removed. But it only makes a difference if he did on one side. According to him, neither side will be able to do it. I must continue taking the anti-epileptic medication even after surgery. Yet I have been taking medications for 4 years, and they are ineffective. Every day I get seizures.
greetings ✌ salaam i had LITT surgery in June 2022 due to mts-mesial temporal sclerosis at Riverside Hospital Columbus Ohio, successful procedure, healed well, brain functions great, the bladder catheter and rectum catheter were extremely uncomfortable 😖 before this procedure i was having 7 - 30 focal aware seizures a week for over 7 years. after the LITT procedure, the auras have decreased to 2 or 3 a month!! many blessings of health & wellness to you all and may God be with you brothers & sisters 🙏🕊🕊 - Jay, with late adult onset epilepsy since 2012 💚
Dr Danoun..my daughter has had seizures since 18mos of birth she is 33 we live in Canada...she has VNS but doesn't work.... her seizures are generalize would the LiTT work??
Ahlan Dr Omar. Danoun I would choose laser therapy Instead of Regular surgery . I think regular surgery is more complicated and recovery time is worse .
Getting this procedure done soon in Cleveland. Spent seven hours in pre op for a three to four hour surgery. Very through hospital. I’m sure they asked me my name and birthdate ten times that day. I’m very excited and looking forward to change in life style.
So you are talking about epilepsy and then you just show a clip of a show which contains flash backs ..you don't really know much about epilepsy do you ...flash backs flash
Hi Dr Omar, my sister was diagnosed with epilepsy from the age of 3 years old. At the age of 18 years old she was attacked and since then she’s been having different types of epilepsy and the medication is not controlling it. I believe that she has a bowel problem and might have inflammation. Can you please advise if the new laser treatment or any other treatment might help? I really would appreciate your advice. Thank you

Hello dr omar Danoun. I love your videos and content i think you are a vary smart easy to understand doctor. I have had temporal lobe epilepsy since i was born 21 years ago. I have had many very mild barly noticalbe seizures during my childhood. Soon as i took medication at the age of 7 i got un used to my seizures and they have slowly gotten worse and stronger ever since but medications are still effective. Witch makes me wonder how does the brain heal it self with the seizures being covered up by meds. but your content made me think about what els could happen without meds like worsening or stroke. My first doctor said ill out grow it in 4 years but its been about 14 and still no luck. I think in the future im going to get the laser surgery done once i do lots of research about it and see if its better then medication side effects for my hole life.
In my recent years ive herd the use of weed could help epilepsy so i tryed it for a couple years to see what it would do 3 years later no luck ive given up on the weed infact i think it made my seizures worse in my case i dont recommend it. May 22 2022 i had the worst scariest seizure i ever had after not having any for many years. it was more like a grand male in my sleep. Someone witnessed it and told me i was walking and making no sence after the seizure. i dont remember nothing just a black sleep. Ever since ive been very curious of how my seizures would be while awake. more mild like when i was a kid or more like the grand male in my sleep. Maybe my grand male seizures only happen in my sleep. Sleeps seems to be a megnet for my seizures more then being awake.
I had this surgery 3 days ago. I have epilepsy since I was 10 years old because of cisticercusis on my country. That animal on my brain caused epilepsy. As in this video says my doctor did a lot of test and a surgery to confirm where my seizures where coming from and if I could be a canadidate. Thank god I was a candidate and they did it a couple days ago. I’m resting at home. I have pain because of the surgery but I hope this surgery cure my epilepsy
@zipperfixer7007 whats life like after surgery, I've been offered brain surgery but I have to live with memory loss and weakness down one side of my body and some sight loss in one eye after surgery, or carry on using medication I'm taking brivaracetam for focal onset & grand mal epilepsy in UK

Hi doctor, I thinking about right temporal lobe surgery now. My question is my epilepsy is diagnosed in right temporal lobe and PET showing hypometabolism in both left and right temporal lobe does surgery on right temporal lobe make sens? is it possible in my case be seizure free after surgery?
I just had this done for a 15mm right front temporal lobe Cavernoma and I am now left with right facial Trigeminal nerve damage (Numbness)! I don’t understand. Beware!
Hello, my husband is with PVNH, his grad mal seizures are controlled, but he forgets to take his medication. It has been almost 2 years since taking this medication, but he still forgets. Isn't it a better option to do LiiT, since there is a cause of the seizures it is one-sided and his seizures can stop fully?
Sir where this facility is available...my naphew is suffering from refractory epilepsy with adhd we are planning for vNS SHOULD WE WAIT FOR LASER ABLATION..
Hello, I just got my second seizure last week, now I’m on keppra, but I actually don’t get seizures suddenly, I get them only when doing something repetitive, does it make a difference in the diagnosis?
Dear Dr Omar My son has been suffering from epilepsy from birth, he is 16 now. He has scar in his brain in the parietal occipital region due to neonatal septicaemia and seizure. We tried so many anti seizure medications, but medications made his seizure worse .currently he is having average 3 generalised seizures daily.Also his uncontrolled seizures affect his speech, sleep,ability to learn, mobility and so on. Presently, VNS in situ and he is on Epidyolex as well which are not helping him . Do you think laser treatment can help him? Please reply me we are living in London and this treatment is available here. We are very grateful for this information , God bless you
Hi Dr Omar Doing some research and have a question. Have you ever had a patient with vestibular epilepsy? I’m trying not to diagnose myself but symptoms sure seem familiar. The tinnitus I have bilaterally is getting louder daily to the point I can’t hear. So I’m going to see a ENT . Just wanted your thoughts on this. Thanks
hey doc, i have been preparing for merchant navy, it have some medical test, can they detect my epilepsy by any chance? I DIDNT HAD ANY SEIZURE SINCE LAST YEAR AND IM ON MEDs (BRIVARACETAM 50MG, 2 TIMES A DAY)
My brother is 67 and started getting seizures since January this year, 2023. He has one every month so far. His Dr increased his Keppra dosage recently. Will he be a good candidate for this laser surgery? What are the side effects?
@@DrOmarDanoun hello dr.danoun my name is miche leo . i was born with epilepsy and i have had seizures since i was born and now that i am 31 years old i am 31 years old i am still having seizures. i have been seeking an answer because all my doctors that done CT Scans and MRI were unable to see where its coming from. i would like to know would i be a good fit for this treatment option .
Hi I have a really quick question ! So I had abscence epilepsy from the time of when I was about 10 years old to when I was about 13/14 years old and i took medication and eventually I grew out of it. I’m now 18 years old and now I’m noticing that I have a hard time remembering a lot of my childhood and I can be a little forgetful sometimes, especially with peoples names. I also notice that I’ve been jerking and twitching randomly - usually when I’m at home and by myself my head will suddenly jerk or my leg or arm will spasm. It also seems to happen with sudden changes in temperature or emotion. Any suggestions or comments? Thank you so much
I have the VNS to help control my seizures, which are partial-complex seizures. I have never been able to have complete control over the seizures even with the VNS, but it does help keep the seizure rates down. I am seriously looking into this surgery if my epileptologist can find the exact area of the brain where the seizures are coming from, and if this surgery can be used in that area.

Great new invention. Ah you mentioned "multiple epilepsy zones". Bummer for those with more than 1 epilepsy zone.
Yes most helpful for only one spot likely
Houston Texas has the facilities here. Plan to take my son. We’d rather get procedure if he qualifies and be done with this nightmare.
Glad to hear that
After surgery, do you develop scar tissue through time?
Can epilepsy cured completely with medication

Litt is way better

What if I have a seizure with all of that on my head and in my brain?
No crack my skull open. Suppose the success & experience record of physician is critical
God..I'm scared of that..doc..my baby is 2yrs old..shes suffered epilepsy,.can I ask doc..hm? Lesser surgery's?😢😢
Yes you can if it is available
Is surgery can be done on occipital lobe as i have a small ingenuity there which is the root of my epilepsy
Can this be used for those with partial-complex seizures located in temporal lobe?
I just had this done for a 15mm right front temporal lobe Cavernoma and I am now left with right facial Trigeminal nerve damage (Numbness)! I don’t understand.
Beware!
Did your seizures stop
If so I think that’s a small price to pay since you could get plenty of nerve damage from falling everywhere

Epilepsy can start with tinnitus sound but definitely not constant.. Only few seconds at the beginning of the seizure
Hi Doc. A friend of mine is suffering from Chronic Lymphocytic Inflammation In Pons, can this be effective for treating it?
Laser does not treat inflammation
