Xiao Shao, a boy from Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, who was diagnosed with epilepsy nine years ago, recently underwent a successful vagus nerve stimulator implantation at Sanbo Brain Hospital of Capital Medical University. At present, Xiao Shao’s seizure symptoms have been significantly relieved. After Xiao Shao was diagnosed with epilepsy, local doctors prescribed oral anti-epileptic drugs for him, which worked well at first and could effectively control the seizures, but gradually became less effective as time went on. 4 years ago, a new form of seizures appeared, and the seizures became more and more frequent, gradually evolving into drug-refractory epilepsy. After a detailed preoperative evaluation and the family’s wishes, Capital Medical University Sanbo Brain Hospital decided to perform vagus nerve stimulator implantation for Xiao Shao to reduce seizures. According to the introduction: Xiao Shao had multiple epileptic foci in his brain after examination, which was not suitable for epileptic foci removal surgery, and the effect of medication to control epilepsy was poor. For cases where drug treatment is not effective and epileptic focus resection surgery is not suitable, vagus nerve stimulation therapy is a very good choice. Compared with other epilepsy surgeries, its biggest advantages are no craniotomy, no damage to brain tissue and neurological function, low surgical risk, minimally invasive, few complications, and reversible and controllable stimulation. According to a large number of foreign literature reports and our clinical experience, about 6-10% of patients treated with vagus nerve stimulation can have their seizures completely controlled, and more than 50-70% of patients can have their seizures reduced by more than 50%, and the effect of seizure control is positively correlated with the time of vagus nerve stimulation.
