Child with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

Caption

Anya, 2, who underwent non-invasive testing and surgery for tuberous sclerosis complex at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA, is now seizure-free. A new study by researchers with UCLA's Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Program has found that an alternative, non-invasive approach to pre-surgical testing, along with earlier consideration for surgery, is associated with the best seizure-free surgical outcome in patients with TSC.
