• Assess patients with epilepsy,
  
  
• Verify the diagnosis,
  
  
• Establish the underlying cause,
  
  
• Classify the disorder,
  
  
• Choose or alter medications to the most appropriate for underlying syndrome, and
  
  
• Identify patients with refractory epilepsy who could potentially benefit from surgery.
  

The clinic is screening centre towards realizing these goals and run by a neurologist with an abiding interest in epilepsy. It functions in concert with a special team especially interested in epilepsy related problems. This team includes

• Neurophysiologists,
  
  
• Neuropsychologist,
  
  
• Neuroradiologist,
  
  
• Neurosurgeon with expertise in epilepsy surgery,
  
  
• Specially trained neurophysiology technicians, and
  
  
• An in-house medical social worker.

The time allocated to each patient is suitable towards realizing these above goals in the assessment of a patient with epilepsy. A systematic assessment of patients guided by a specially designed questionnaire is the usual screening instrument. Suitable patients subsequently undergo a specially designed epilepsy protocol MRI, video-telemetry assessment, and functional imagings like ictal SPECT scan. The video-telemetry unit is closely associated with the screening assessment of patients with poorly controlled epilepsy in the epilepsy clinic. Women with epilepsy are counseled about reproduction related issues in epilepsy and appropriate therapeutic changes when warranted are introduced.
