The Department of Epileptology in Bonn is one of the few clinics in Germany recognized as an Epilepsy Center Stage 1 and offers a full scale of all diagnostic and therapeutic procedures which are recognized today in the treatment of epilepsy.
An important focus of their work involves the presurgical diagnostic work-up. Each year, more than 100 patients undergo these very extensive examinations. For diagnostic procedures, their facilities have 8 single rooms, each with video/EEG recording equipment.
The duties of the Department of Epileptology are clearly defined: optimal diagnostics and treatment for patients with epilepsy and other seizure-like disturbances, and research on epilepsy and the functions of the human brain, such as memory and emotion. Patients benefit from their extensive commitment to education and the advanced training of students, medical personnel and established physicians – all of whom help guarantee the highest possible quality of treatment.
The well-being of the individual patient is the central concept of the department. Seizure control and quality of life improvement are the primary goals. Even though many patients are not acutely ill or do not suffer pain during their in-hospital stay, exhausting or invasive diagnostic procedures are sometimes unavoidable. Waiting for results can be very wearing. Competent physicians, EEG assistants and their experienced health care personnel help patients get through these hours and days. Of course, parents are permitted to be with their children around the clock.
