The 10th Indian epilepsy school and the 9th Asian Epilepsy Surgery Congress was held at the historic city of Udaipur in India on October 23rd - 25th, 2014.

This school and congress had a unique CME for the Neurology and Neurosurgery students and young practitioners who had an interest in Epilepsy and Epilepsy surgery.250 participants actively contributed to the program and its success.

The President of International Bureau for Epilepsy Athanasios Covanis inaugurated the program. Participants were from all over India and Asia.

The school had all experienced teachers who have been teaching in the epilepsy schools of the past. There was a rich mixture of talks and small group EEG discussions. There was a extensive cover of the most important topics and current practice in EEG and epilepsy.

ASEPA part II exam was held at the venue on 25/10/15. Eleven candidates appeared in the exam and 07 candidates of them passed the exam.

The Asian Epilepsy Surgery Congress had some of the best scientific advances not only from the Asian sub-continent but also from the rest of the world. The topics included some of the basics of epilepsy surgery to the more recent advances in the field. In addition, there were “How I do it, video sessions” which demonstrated the surgical techniques from some of the masters in this field.

We trust that each of the participants took back rich memories and learning. We feel highly honoured to host to have hosted this.
