I have a question regarding your Epilepsy Center. When I called re a child I was told the Epilepsy Center was for adults only. However I’ve read of at least 1 child being treated there, maybe since the child was having brain surgery the child is considered Neurosurgery dept patient. It is incomprehensible to me that your E Center wouldn’t accept children but the lady was insistent.
Thank you for any clarification you can provide.
Jake

Hi @jakedduck1, I'll provide only a brief reply here regarding pediatric epilepsy care at Mayo Clinic because I don't want to take this discussion away from its central topic of CPAP and Sleep.
One of the specialty groups on Mayo Clinic Children's Center is the Pediatric Epilepsy Clinic, which offers a full range of services to children with epilepsy, staffed by an integrated team of neurologists, neurosurgeons and mental health specialists. https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/childrens-center/overview/specialty-groups
Jake, if you'd like to ask further questions about epilepsy and care for a child, please send me a private message. Or we can talk about it in the Epilepsy group. There are several parents in the Epilepsy group whose children are cared for at Mayo Clinic: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/epilepsy-2bb359/
