Options for Epilepsy (1 Letter) Re "Surgery for Epilepsy Gains Urgency in Trial" (March 13): This article demonstrates the need for better treatment for patients with epilepsy, but no mention was made about the very few patients who actually qualify for surgery. There are different kinds of epilepsy, and seizures may originate in different areas of the brain. There is no doubt that it is a major burden to live with seizures, but surgery alone is certainly not a one-size-fits-all solution.
