Meet some of our patients

Jack

Jack, 11, was born with a cyst on his brain which caused uncontrollable seizures and weakened the left side of his body. He underwent a hemispherectomy at GOSH to disconnect the left side of his brain from the right – a surgical procedure that helps to control seizures in about 80 per cent of patients.

GOSH developed the UK's first service for children with sever epileptic seizures, which has grown into one of the largest paediatric epilepsy surgery programmes in the world.
