Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes recurring, unprovoked seizures. Your doctor may diagnose you with epilepsy if you have two unprovoked seizures or one unprovoked seizure with a high risk of more. Not all seizures are the result of epilepsy. Seizures may relate to a brain injury or a family trait, but often the cause is completely unknown.

What is epilepsy surgery?

Epilepsy surgery is a type of brain surgery used to stop or reduce the
number of seizures. It’s a planned surgery, meaning it is rarely done in an
emergency. People are first seen at a comprehensive epilepsy center for
testing to see if surgery may be right for them. The epilepsy team also will
consider what type of surgery may work best.
