: I work in an institution for persons with cerebral palsy. Frecuently they have asosiated epilepsy.
Recently some parents ask me about the Gamma knife treatment of epilepsy. They need to know about hospitals in Mxico that realizing this treatment and its costs because they are persons with few recurses.

Dear Mr. Ramirez:
The Gamma Knife usually treats patients for brain tumors and other functional disorders such as Parkinson's Disease when medical therapy is exhausted.  At the current time, the Gamma Knife treats epilepsy only on an experimental basis.  You could check with the Gamma Knife Center in Mexico at the Unidad Gamma, Hospital San Javier in Guadalajara at 52-3-669-0222.  Good Luck.
