Referral to the epilepsy centre

You are referred to Kempenhaeghe by a specialist in a general or academic hospital. Sometimes, general practitioners refer directly. Referral is an option e.g.

When the cause of the epileptic seizures remains unclear
When seizures are not controlled
When a specialist approach is appropriate due to a combination of epilepsy and other problems, such as a development disorder, mental retardation, or learning, behavioural or work problems
When research is needed to determine the probable success of certain treatment methods
When a second opinion is desirable

Specialized in epilepsy

If you have a complex form of epilepsy for which your doctor or specialist is unable to determine the cause and/or an appropriate therapy, specialists of the Kempenhaeghe epilepsy centre may be able to help you. Complex forms of epilepsy often require the knowledge of several specialists to make the diagnosis (the problem and its cause) and determine the therapy. Kempenhaeghe indeed has these specialists 'in house'. Kempenhaeghe is experienced in many diagnostic and treatment methods and in counselling epileptic children and adults.
