TY - CONF ID - 1083123 AU - Novák, Zdeněk - Chrastina, Jan - Ošlejšková, Hana - Ryzí, Michal - Horák, Ondřej - Brázdil, Milan - Rektor, Ivan PY - 2012 TI - Vagus nerve stimulation in children - surgical outcomes KW - Epilepsy KW - vagus nerve stimulation KW - Engel scale N2 - The management of intractable epilepsy in children is a challenging problem. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an established palliative method of pharmacoresistant seizures treatment for children that do not respond to antiepileptic drugs and are not candidates for resective surgery. There are data suggesting worse clinical effect of vagus nerve stimulation in adult patients than in children and adolescents. VNS was not generally recommended for children younger than 12 years However this limitation has been abandoned in favour of earlier VNS indication. Recent data also support the safety and efficiacy of VNS stimulation in children < 12 as well in older children. ER -
