Surgery and Drug Therapy Benefit Epilepsy, Iowa Doctor Says
Yowa City reports Dr Anatole Kolodny of the University of Iowa College of Medicine states surgical treatment helps about 20 percent of epileptics and special drugs relieve many others. He emphasizes epilepsy is a symptom, not a disease, and fits vary with brain lesion location. He rejects the idea of an epileptic personality and notes famous epileptics like Mohammed and Napoleon are cited by social philosophers rather than by medical science.
