In today’s episode, Neurologist, Robert Shorr, MD, discusses Epilepsy with the eminent Pediatric Neurologist and Epilepsy Specialist, William Goldie, MD. Dr. Goldie, who received his training at Stanford, UC Berkley, and Johns Hopkins Hospital, is a former Chief of Pediatric Neurology at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles, and is the current head of Pediatric Neurology at Ventura County Medical Center. Today’s topic is an expansion of our previous Parkinson’s disease focused episodes to include other neurodegenerative indications. Interestingly, some newer medications are currently being researched for concurrent benefits in both Parkinson’s populations and Epilepsy populations. Although Epilepsy generally first manifests symptoms in childhood, this condition can continue through adolescence into adulthood and can be very difficult to manage. Seizure disorders in the very young and in elderly populations are the most dramatic and complex to manage. In today’s show, Dr. Shorr and Dr. Goldie discuss the pathology of Epilepsy and review emerging treatments. We are delighted to bring you this fascinating overview of Epilepsy.
