Neurology Clinic V – Seizure Disorders of the CNS

Appointments: by phone from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. The outpatient clinic does not use an e-queue system. For the initial examination, it is advisable to bring complete documentation, a referral from your general practitioner, and findings from specialist examinations. For a consultation, please bring a referral from the referring neurologist who recommended the consultation at our clinic. The specialized outpatient clinic performs initial examinations, consultations, and follow-up examinations for patients with seizure disorders of the nervous system, primarily epilepsy, and disorders of consciousness of unclear etiology. Additionally, it provides dispensary care for patients with partial or generalized forms of epilepsy. The clinic also performs testing of anti-seizure drug levels (sodium valproate, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, levetiracetam, lamotrigine, topiramate). The department closely cooperates with the 2nd Department of Neurology, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University and University Hospital Bratislava; the Department of Neurology, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University and University Hospital Martin; and the Department of Neurology at St. Anne’s University Hospital in Brno, particularly concerning pharmacoresistant epilepsies and indications for epilepsy surgery (resective treatment, vagus nerve stimulation, and other methods). Furthermore, the outpatient clinic functions as an electroencephalography laboratory, performing EEG examinations, including native EEG and EEG using activation methods (sleep deprivation, photostimulation, hyperventilation). EEG recordings are interpreted by neurologists specialized in this field.
