Epilepsy treatment at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental
About the clinic
Hisar Intercontinental Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey offers epilepsy diagnostics and treatment programs. The diagnostic package costs $1,320–$1,500 and includes a 3.0 Tesla brain MRI, EEG, and neurologist consultation. For complex epilepsy surgery, the hospital provides advanced procedures starting at €29,500.
Epilepsy Diagnostic Program
The one-day diagnostic program helps identify the cause and type of epilepsy. It includes three key tests. The brain MRI uses a powerful 3.0 Tesla scanner to detect structural abnormalities. The EEG records electrical brain activity to locate seizure origins. A neurologist reviews all results and recommends treatment.
Dr. Gulumser Kiziltas Tokmak leads the neurology consultations. She has 21 years of experience in epilepsy care. The MRI costs $500–600, the EEG costs $300–500, and the consultation is $120. Airport transfers are included. Hotel accommodation is arranged separately.
Epilepsy Surgery Program
For patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, the hospital offers surgical treatment. Dr. Ertugrul Pinar, a neurosurgeon with 19 years of experience, performs the procedures. The surgery program costs €29,500 and includes 8 days in a standard ward plus 2 nights in intensive care.
The surgical approach is tailored to each patient. Common procedures include selective hippocampectomy for hippocampal sclerosis and endoscopic fenestration for arachnoid cysts. The hospital uses neuromonitoring and neuronavigation during surgery. These technologies help protect healthy brain tissue. Intraoperative EEG confirms complete seizure focus removal.
The surgery package includes all implants (8 plates and 32 mini-screws), personal nurse assistance, translator services, and meals for one companion. For precise seizure localization, invasive EEG monitoring may be recommended. This involves placing electrodes directly on the brain for two days.
Rehabilitation Program
A 30-day inpatient rehabilitation program is available for $19,250. Dr. Bestami Yalvac, a pediatric rehabilitation specialist with 20 years of experience, oversees the program. It includes 30 physical therapy sessions designed to improve mobility, balance, and coordination after neurological events.
The program uses advanced equipment. The Smart Gravity System supports body weight during gait training. Computer-assisted balance devices strengthen postural control. Isokinetic exercise machines measure and increase muscle strength. Five ozone therapy sessions promote circulation and energy. Three specialist consultations monitor progress throughout the stay.
