The Penn Epilepsy Center - Hope for Patients with Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a chronic, debilitating neurological disorder that is characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Approximately 0.5 to 1 percent of the population has epilepsy. For people with epilepsy, seizures can occur at any time and often without warning. The frequency of seizures varies from once a year to multiple seizures a day depending on the person. Epileptic seizures can have far-reaching implications on a person's quality of life.

The Penn Epilepsy Center provides the highest standard of care to patients with epilepsy and related problems. The center offers a full continuum of care including state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques, cutting-edge research, medical treatments, surgery, and support services to patients with epilepsy. The Penn Epilepsy Center offers both outpatient evaluation and inpatient care.
