Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Alliance Information

Each year, 45,000 children in the United States are diagnosed with epilepsy. For some, the seizures are so frequent and severe that they are unresponsive to a cocktail of anti-epileptic drugs. Epilepsy surgery, where part of the brain is removed, destroyed, disconnected, or stimulated, can stop or reduce the seizures. We are a non-profit corporation that enhances the lives of children who need neurosurgery to treat drug-resistant epilepsy by empowering their families with research, support services, and impactful programs across the lifespan.
