Endovascular embolization for medically refractory pediatric epilepsy: a case series
Endovascular embolization is a promising minimally invasive strategy for pediatric patients with refractory epilepsy, particularly when anatomical or medical considerations preclude traditional surgery. Further research is warranted to refine patient selection criteria and assess long-term efficacy compared with established surgical approaches. This series expands the potential applications of endovascular techniques in epilepsy management.
