The Comprehensive Epilepsy Program at Riley Children’s Health is the only Level IV program in Indiana treating children with medically refractory epilepsy. Our goal is to evaluate all children with medically refractory epilepsy to determine which treatment is most likely to result in your patient achieving seizure freedom and improving their quality of life. Using highly specialized equipment, Riley Children’s neurosurgeons offer minimally invasive epilepsy surgery and other leading-edge interventions. Referral to our program is recommended if your patient fails two or more medications.
