NeuroCare Brain & Spine Center™ - Epilepsy Center
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases in the United States
affecting about 3 million Americans. It’s a costly disease resulting in an
estimated $15.5 billion in medical costs and lost or reduced earnings and
production every year.
People of all ages are affected, but particularly the very young and the
elderly. About 10% of Americans will experience a seizure sometime during their
lifetime.
Aurora BayCare Medical Center’s epilepsy program evaluates patients who might
benefit from an in-depth assessment of their seizure type through epilepsy
monitoring and/or from surgical treatment.

 Aurora
BayCare Medical Center’s goal for patients is to attain a normal life, free from
seizures and medical side effects. Our patients can achieve these goals when
physicians and staff:
- Work with each individual to develop a personalized treatment plan
conforming to the latest information about seizures.
- Use state-of-the-art monitoring, diagnostics, advanced drug and surgical
options such as:
- 24-hour video monitoring
- Use of all FDA approved anti-seizure medications and potential
inclusion is investigational studies of yet-to-be-released medications
- Neurosurgery, including brain mapping for a safe, effective option
that can help patients return to their normal lives.
- Implantation of Vagus Nerve Stimulators
- Administer neuropsychological tests to further examine a patient’s brain
functions.
What is…
Generally, 85% of patients undergoing a surgical treatment of seizures have
at least a 90% seizure reduction with few, if any, complications under the care
