September 2025 Recall: Topics on Epilepsy

The September 2025 Recall replay highlights four previously released episodes focused on epilepsy. Dr. Halley Alexander begins the series with Dr. Juan Luis Alcala-Zermeno, discussing outcomes of epilepsy surgery in patients with tonic-clonic seizures. She then speaks with Dr. Samuel W. Terman about patients’ perceived seizure risk, seizure risk tolerance, and approaches to risk counseling. In the third episode, Dr. Alexander is joined by Dr. Vineet Punia to explore factors influencing the decision to continue or discontinue anti-seizure medications at discharge for patients hospitalized with acute symptomatic seizures. The replay concludes with Dr. Katie Krulisky’s conversation with Dr. Leah Blank on how outpatient follow-up impacts readmission rates in older adults with epilepsy or seizures
