[Management of drug-resistant epilepsy in children].

Drug-resistant epilepsy affects 20 to 30% of epileptic children. The paediatric department of the Fondation Adolphe-de-Rothschild has dedicated three rooms to conduct recordings with electrodes placed on the scalp or intra-cerebral, implanted in the operating room. The purpose is to offer intervention that can cure seizures.

Drug-resistant epilepsy has significant repercussions on the daily life of children. Surgery may represent a hope. The nurse and the electroencephalogram technician carry out important teamwork during pre-surgical assessment tests and notably the stereo-electroencephalography.

[Surgical management of epilepsy].

Epilepsy surgery raises hopes, but still remains reserved for a small number of cases of epilepsy resistant to medical treatments. It requires the involvement of multidisciplinary medical and allied health teams with expertise in this field. From the patient's admission through to their discharge, the nurse and the electroencephalogram technician have an essential role to play.
