About the clinic
Liv Hospital Ulus in Istanbul, Turkey, provides specialized care for West syndrome, a severe form of infantile epilepsy. Treatment options include neurologist consultations for around $130, EEG examinations for about $250, and MRI scans ranging from $630 to $850. The clinic’s main pediatric neurology specialist, Prof.Dr. Gulsen Kose, offers advanced treatment at a JCI-accredited facility with full international patient services.
Complete Diagnostics for West Syndrome
The diagnostic process for infants is thorough. It begins with a consultation with a pediatric neurologist like Prof.Dr. Gulsen Kose. This evaluation typically costs around $130. The clinic uses advanced imaging and monitoring. Key tests include:
- EEG examination: This test records the brain's electrical activity to detect abnormal patterns. It typically costs around $250.
- MRI of one area: This detailed brain scan helps identify any structural causes for seizures. The price for this usually runs from $630 to $750.
- Brain MRI with contrast: A more detailed scan using a contrast agent for enhanced images. This option may cost around $850.
These diagnostics help create an individual treatment plan.
Advanced Treatment: Vagus Nerve Stimulation
For drug-resistant cases, Liv Hospital offers vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). This is a form of neuromodulation therapy. An implantable device is placed under the skin to help control seizures. This procedure may be recommended for difficult-to-treat epilepsy. The total cost for this therapy, including the device and surgery, is typically around $32,000. It does not include flights, accommodation, or pre-operative tests.
