A member asked:
Is temporal lobectomy surgery the only cure for petit mal.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Please see a neurologist prior to any surgery. This is an extreme step. Meds can many times control seizures. HOWEVER seizures can sometimes be very complicated and requires sometimes two meds. YOu might even want to be seen at any epilepsy center prior to any brain surgery Best wishes.
