About the clinic
Medipol Mega University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, offers epilepsy treatment programs for children and adults. The cost ranges from $100 to $20,000 USD depending on the diagnostic and treatment approach. The hospital specializes in comprehensive epilepsy care, from medication management to advanced surgical interventions.
Diagnostic Evaluation
The epilepsy workup begins with a detailed neurological examination. Doctors perform EEG monitoring to track brain activity. A 24-hour EEG costs $850-$1,300 USD. Brain MRI scans cost $350-$900 USD. Some cases require 48-hour EEG monitoring at $2,400 USD.
Blood tests help identify underlying causes. These cost $400-$1,500 USD depending on the scope. Genetic testing is available through WES analysis at $750 EUR. Doctors review previous imaging studies for $100-$150 USD per image.
Treatment Options
Treatment starts with antiepileptic medications. Doctors monitor the response during a one-week hospital stay. This costs $350-$375 USD per day plus additional expenses. Total daily costs reach $1,000-$1,300 USD including all services.
For drug-resistant epilepsy, surgical options are available. The hospital performs epilepsy surgery for $15,000-$20,000 USD. Surgeons use intra-operative navigation and intra-operative MRI. This technology helps locate and remove seizure-causing brain tissue precisely.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is another option. This involves implanting a device that sends electrical signals to the brain. The hospital also offers Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) therapy.

The professionalism of the doctors is top notch
The professionalism of the doctors is top notch. The availability of modern equipment is attractive. The medical staff is attentive and responsive to patients. Excellent work of the international department in terms of logistics and translators, which allows you to concentrate as much as possible on the diagnosis and communication with doctors. Availability of separate rooms per patient during hospitalization. Ensuring adequate prices for hotel rooms. In simple words: the transfer operates from the airport to the hotel and back, daily to the clinic and back to the hotel. There was always a translator with us at the clinic who took us where we needed to go. We received professional medical care.
In this section I would like to note the excellent work of the translator Ayla. A wonderful young woman who exudes confidence, calmness and positivity.
I wish all translators were like Ayla).

"Thanks to the translators Aysalkyn and Sofya
Hello! I went through a check-up at the clinic and took my daughter for an examination, everything went well, the only transfer arrived late on the 1st day of the appointment and we got to the doctor later than we booked. Then we were picked up an hour before the appointment or examination, and everyone had time ... Thanks to the translators Aysalkyn and Sofya
