A member asked:
What type of tests are performed to determine if you're a good candidate for the brain surgery or not.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brain MRI: Normally a brain MRI helps to measure if there are any anatomical abnormalities that can be treated with surgery. More important however is whether there are any symptoms that are caused by irregular anatomy, especially disabling symptoms, such as intractable seizures.
