A 34-year-old man, who suffered from epilepsy, underwent a non-invasive procedure - Cyberknife Radiosurgery - at Apollo Cancer Centre early this year. The patient, an athlete and software professional from New Zealand, suffered from Medial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (MTLE). He started to experience occasional attacks of unconsciousness in 2009. He was diagnosed with simple partial seizures and was under treatment in New Zealand. But, he went on to suffer multiple seizure attacks and imaging revealed MTLE, a rare type of epilepsy. As the seizures increased in frequency and could not be controlled with medications, he was advised to explore a surgical option.More Related News
