Why Children Are Not Referred For Epilepsy Surgery - Asst. Prof. Juan Pérez

Delays in epilepsy surgery referral are not just about access and are not limited to one region. Epileptologist Asst. Prof. Juan Perez discusses paediatric epilepsy surgery across Latin America, where services exist but remain underutilised, and how misconceptions, training gaps, and system-level barriers continue to prevent eligible children from being referred for surgical evaluation, as well as what needs to change to improve access and outcomes.
