Approximately a quarter of epilepsy patients in the Netherlands have a condition so complex that (additional) examination and/or treatment at a specialized epilepsy center is required. The Academic Center for Epileptology Kempenhaeghe/Maastricht UMC+ has all the necessary expertise and research methods in-house. Our specialists are highly knowledgeable about the impact of epilepsy, ensuring that you receive the best possible care at Kempenhaeghe.
For complex forms of epilepsy, the expertise of multiple specialists is often needed to establish an accurate diagnosis (problem and cause) and determine the best treatment approach. Our epilepsy center brings these experts together under one roof. We also have access to specialized diagnostic methods, and our neurologists and other specialists are familiar with the most advanced treatment options.
You can turn to us if the cause of your epilepsy remains unclear or if seizure control proves difficult. A specialized approach may also be required when epilepsy occurs alongside other conditions, such as developmental disorders, intellectual disabilities, learning difficulties, behavioral challenges, or work-related issues. Additionally, you may seek our expertise for an evaluation of potential treatment options or a second opinion.
Our specialists are dedicated to refining diagnoses, adjusting medication, offering the latest and most suitable treatment methods, and providing support to help patients lead a normal life despite their epilepsy.
