Reasonably possible: It is now common to find patients who would benefit from epilepsy surgery. If there is a definable focus and very specific spread of discharges, then surgical removal of the epileptic region of the brain may be curative. Other surgery may help including depth electrodes or vagal simulator or cc sectioning. A detailed evaluation by epilepsy center would be appropriate.

Epilepsy: There are certain types of epilepsy that are caused by discrete lesions or malformations within the brain. A comprehensive epilepsy center can certainly due the workup and evaluation to see if you are a possible candidate for surgery.
