大连医科大学附属第二医院癫痫治疗中心成立于2008年3月11日。 是辽宁省卫生厅重点专科建设项目，癫痫中心通过与美国西海岸著名的Swedish Medical Center癫痫中心的合作，按照国际抗癫痫联盟的最高级别标准（四级）建立。整合了神经内科、神经外科、神经儿科、神经影像、神经心理、神经电生理及临床药学等多学科专家，同时开展癫痫的临床诊断、评估，药物的系统、规范化治疗，顽固性癫痫的手术治疗及心理干预治疗等综合治疗方案，是目前东北三省唯一能提供癫痫的多学科专业综合治疗的癫痫中心。

癫痫中心目前拥有优秀的人才队伍和国际一流的临床电生理诊断及手术相关设备。目前学科有博士研究生导师1名、硕士研究生导师3名。教授4人，副教授2人，研究生3人，博士学位1人。拥有世界最先进的128导联、64导联、32导联Nicolet 数字化视频脑电图设备3套，配合Nicolet 5.30版本的数字化视频脑电图分析系统，2套动态脑电图监测设备，先进的ZEISS手术显微镜、LEKSELL立体定向系统、微电极记录及手术计划系统等，为开展癫痫外科治疗奠定了坚实的基础。

本中心的重要特色是针对“顽固性癫痫的外科评估与手术治疗”。癫痫病灶的术前系统评估、颅内电极植入术后癫痫病灶精确定位、癫痫外科手术治疗的临床领域与国际先进水平保持交流和一致，多次邀请美国西雅图Swedish Medical Center、美国德克萨斯州大学西南医学中心（University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center） 神经外科、癫痫外科专家来我院进行病例讨论并同台开展多例癫痫外科手术。目前中心同时建立了与美方专家开展远程医疗、病例会诊制度，将每一个手术病例及疑难病例均保持与美方专家的交流，保持自身诊断与治疗水平的不断进步。

中心成立9个月来，已经为近800名患者建立了永久病例档案，为近300名患者进行了视频脑电图的诊断与临床评估。患者来自东北三省及西藏、湖南、宁夏、山西等外省市。目前已完成顽固性癫痫外科手术31例。患者平均病史达16.2年，均取得理想的癫痫控制效果，为患者及家庭解除的多年的痛苦。

在全面开展临床工作的同时，中心以癫痫的外科治疗、临床电生理定位及癫痫的耐药性癫痫的发生机制方面为研究方向，目前承担的课题为辽宁省重点专科建设项目《难治性癫痫的外科治疗及基础研究》，培养硕士研究生在研3名。同时具备博士研究生招收、培养资格。

中心将继续致力于顽固性癫痫灶精确定位、手术治疗的临床研究，同时依照国际标准，为患者提供系统、综合的诊断、临床药物治疗服务及长期的跟踪随访。

中心作为大连医科大学附属第二医院的美国友好医院Swedish Medical Center 在中国的癫痫诊断、治疗的协作基地，不断接受国际癫痫诊疗的最新信息，为攻克“顽固性癫痫”临床治疗的疑难课题做出不懈的努力。

                      The Epilepsy Center

The epilepsy center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University（SAH-DMU） was founded on 11th March  in 2008.It was supported by the “key department construction program” of the Health Department of LiaoNing province.Cooperating with Swedish Medical Center， the prominent epilepsy center in western coast of America， it is the first level IV （the highest level） epilepsy center under the recommendation from The International League Against Epilepsy in Northeast China. Intergrading the experts on neurosurgery，neurology， pediatrics ，neuroradiology，neuropsychology，neuroimaging ，clinical pharmacy ， the epilepsy center in SAH-DMU is the only epilepsy center which provides the multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment in Northeast China including  clinical standard diagnosis  and evaluation，systematic standard medication，surgery for refractory epilepsy，psychology intervention and so on.

The epilepsy center have a team with excellent talents and was equipped with world-class facilities for clinical electrophysiology diagnosis and surgery.There has 1 doctor graduate tutor ，3 master graduate tutors in the center， and the whole faculty includes 4 professors，2 associated professors.The clinical facilities  include 3 sets of world-class “Nicolet” digital VEEG monitor with  128 leads，64 leads， 32 leads respectively， 2 sets of ambulatory EEG monitors，advanced ZEISS surgery microscope，LEKSELL stereotactic system ，microelectrode recorder and operation plan system，all of them lay  a solid foundation for the application of the epilepsy surgery.

  “Surgical evaluation and treatment for refractory epilepsy ” is the center’s unique feature.We keep on communicating with the world advanced level in clinical fields such as systematic evaluation for epilepsy focus  before operation，the accurate location after intracranial electrode implantation， the precise resection of the epilepsy focus . With the official academic collaboration between SAH-DMU and the sister hospital，the Swedish Medical Center of the United States，and also the good academic exchanging relationship with University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center ， we set up international case consulting system for difficult epilepsy cases. With the international telemedicine platform between Chinese and Amercian epilepsy experts，we keep on communicating every surgical case and complicated cases， and also invited the epilepsy neurosurgeon to come to Dalian to do the case consulting and finished epilepsy operation cases together.The international academic collaboration background is great helpful in improving our diagnosis and treatment levels on epilepsy cases.

Only in 8 months since the foundation，we have created history documents for about 800 patients and provided video EEG clinical evaluation and diagnosis for more than 300 patients.The patients not only came from the three northeast provinces but also other remote area such as Tibet，Hunan，Shanxi，Ningxia etc.We have accomplished 31 operations for refractory epilepsy，with the average 16.2 years of seizures history，and all of the cases got the appreciable seizure control effect，released the agony of the patient’s family and suffering of the patients.

Besides the clinical works， our center do researches mainly focus on surgical treatment for refractory epilepsy，the epileptic focus location by electrophysiology，the mechanism of drug resistant epilepsy.We are now undertaking a program which was titled “the Basic Research And Therapy For Refractory Epilepsy”，which is the key department construction program of the Health Department of Liaoning province.We are now training 3 graduates for master degree，and have the qualification for training neurology doctor degrees.

The center will continuously engage in the clinical research of precise location and surgical therapy of intractable epilepsy.According to the international standard，we supply the patients with systematic and comprehensive diagnosis，clinical medicine treatment and long period of follow-up simultaneously.

As the Chinese cooperative basement  of the American friendship hospital，Swedish Medical Center，for epileptic diagnosis and treatment in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University ，the center incessantly receives the latest imformation of  treatments of epilepsy，striving for the successful treatment of intractable epilepsy.
