Case Study: Epilepsy (Seizure Disorder)
Patient Information:
- Name: Ayazhan Amangeldi
- Diagnosis: Epilepsy (Seizure Disorder)
- Date of Birth (D.O.B): March 21, 1988
- Gender: Female
- Country: Kazakhstan
Treatment: Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery (Functional Stereotaxy) using the Remebot™ Robotic Surgery System
Case Study:
An 18-year-old female patient from Kazakhstan suffered from daily paroxysmal limb convulsions for six years. Although her symptoms improved with medication, significant side effects made it intolerable, and her seizures returned once medication was stopped. An MRI of her brain showed no anatomical abnormalities, but an EEG revealed diagnostic abnormalities indicative of a seizure disorder.
Surgical Procedure:
- Dr. Lu performed the surgery using precise stereotactic localization data uploaded to the computer for robotic-guided ablation.
- The procedure involved taking EEG readings from deep within the brain, followed by precision-guided radio-frequency ablation of the specific lesion causing her seizures.
Postoperative Condition:
- Post-operative CT imaging showed no intracerebral hemorrhage or complications.
- Following the treatment, the patient remains seizure-free and off medications.
Advantages of Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery (Functional Stereotaxy) using Remebot™ Robotic Surgery System:
- Less invasive, with minimal effect on surrounding tissues.
- High accuracy: accurate to 1-2 mm with precise 3-D localization.
- More efficient: shortens surgery time and lowers risk.
Remebot™ Robotic Surgery System:
- Currently the world's most advanced neurosurgical-aided positioning system.
- Primarily used in seizure disorder surgery and other surgical environments requiring ultra-high accuracy.
- Beijing Puhua International Hospital is the first hospital in China to utilize "stereotactic minimally invasive brain surgery + neurotrophic factors injection" for treating neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, stroke, and brain injury.
Treatment Results:
Over the past 10 years, Beijing Puhua International Hospital has accumulated valuable experience and achieved satisfying treatment results using this innovative approach to neurological diseases.
