About the clinic

A complex diagnostic of epilepsy at Medipol Mega University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, is a thorough evaluation to identify seizure types and brain activity. The price for this comprehensive program typically runs between $1,500 and $21,200, depending on the specific tests required. This diagnostic uses high-resolution imaging and prolonged monitoring to help specialists create an accurate management plan.

The Diagnostic Process and Components

This evaluation checks brain structure and electrical patterns. The diagnostic package typically includes several key examinations:

  • Neurologist consultation to review the patient's medical history.
  • 1-hour electroencephalography (EEG) to record electrical brain activity.
  • 24-hour EEG monitoring if longer observation is necessary to capture seizure data.
  • Brain MRI using 1.5T or 3T scanners to identify structural abnormalities.
  • Blood tests including a complete blood count and metabolic panel.

The program may also include a CT scan, genetic testing, or a lumbar puncture if the doctor identifies a need. Patients should bring all previously recorded medical files and radiological images for the physician to review.

Method and Equipment

The clinic uses diverse technology to locate seizure triggers. Imaging is performed with 3T MRI or 256-slice CT scanners. If a patient cannot remain still, the MRI can be performed under anesthesia. The clinic also has PET-CT capabilities for detailed metabolic mapping of the brain. Most consultations are outpatient, but prolonged EEG monitoring may require a temporary hospital stay.

Specialist and Clinic Standards

Prof. Dr. Kürşad Aydın leads the diagnostic process. He is a Pediatric Neurologist and a professor at the university hospital. Medipol Mega University Hospital holds Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. It also achieved HIMSS EMRAM Stage 6, which indicates a high level of digital integration in patient records and safety systems.

Results and Logistics

The entire diagnostic process usually requires a 15-to-20-day stay in Turkey to complete all monitoring and tests. A repeat consultation is typically scheduled within 9 days of the initial tests to discuss the results. International patients can access airport transfers and an interpreter to help navigate the process. To receive a personalized diagnostic plan, you may leave a request on Bookimed.
