Our State-of-the-Art Epilepsy Monitoring Unit

Located at the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at Florida Hospital for Children, our specially designed eight-bed Epilepsy Monitoring Unit allows our team of epilepsy experts to observe your child in real time, using the latest digital diagnostic equipment to assess, diagnose and treat your child’s epilepsy. This includes all-digital video EEG equipment, MRI, ictal SPECT, FDG-PET and other diagnostic and testing tools to give our team an accurate picture of your child’s condition.

Because the experience can be unsettling to young patients and their family members, we have designed the unit to be extremely child friendly. Child Life team members will help your child prepare for his/her stay in the unit as well as for any procedures required, including surgery. We are dedicated to making a visit to the hospital as scare-free as possible and our Comprehensive Epilepsy Center and Epilepsy Monitoring Unit are no exception.

By combining leading edge clinical care, cutting-edge research and the very best tools available, our team will use the results of your study to develop an individualized treatment plan that fits your child’s medical, psychological and social needs. Every procedure will be explained to you in clear terms that are jargon free so you can make an informed decision about your child’s care every step of the way.
