Epileptic Seizure Prevention with NeuroPace from Memorial Neuroscience Institute

Christopher DeMassi, MD, Neurosurgeon, and Tarek Zakaria, MD, Neurologist, explain how the multidisciplinary team at Memorial Neuroscience Institute uses the latest technology to treat epileptic seizures.

NeuroPace, a small battery-powered device implanted in the skull, records electrical activity in the brain and sends electrical impulses to the brain to prevent seizures.

The first center in South Florida to perform NeuroPace surgery, MNI became one of just a few centers in the nation to provide this everyday extraordinary treatment.

Memorial's Extraordinary Epilepsy Monitoring Unit

The Epilepsy Monitoring Unit at the Memorial Neuroscience Institute utilizes a sophisticated computer monitoring system to record the brain activity of those who suffer or who are suspected of suffering from epilepsy.

The epilepsy team with Memorial Neuroscience Institute successfully completed its first use of a minimally invasive robotic device that helps pinpoint the origin of epileptic seizures on a patient.

The device, now in full use at Memorial Regional Hospital, is called a Robotized Surgical Assistant, or ROSA. With assistance from the robot, neurosurgeons only need to make small, precise incisions in the scalp and skull to place electrodes deep in the brain and investigate where seizures are triggered.
