About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to learn if magnetic resonance imaging guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) can treat brain lesions causing epilepsy in children with drug resistant epilepsy. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is MRgFUS safe in children with drug-resistant epilepsy due to central brain lesions?
Does MRgFUS treatment reduce seizure frequency and severity and improve quality-of-life?
Researchers will prospective assess outcomes following MRgFUS in children.
Participants undergoing MRgFUS will complete seizure diaries and questionnaires related to seizure severity and quality-of-life.
