Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) diagnostic THB 9,500–THB 27,000 $282 Verified

Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes recurring seizures when nerve cells fire abnormally. Seizures range from strange sensations or brief lapses of awareness to violent muscle spasms and loss of consciousness; the cause is often unknown.

How it is diagnosed:

  • EEG to record the brain's electrical activity
  • MRI or CT of the brain, with medical history

How it is managed: anti-seizure medicines control seizures for most people; when they do not, options include surgery, an implanted vagus-nerve stimulator or a special diet. The consultation and MRI above are priced; medicines vary.

Clinical facts: MedlinePlus (U.S. National Library of Medicine), 2026. Consultation and imaging ranges are unverified 2025 market imports until re-checked; medicine costs vary and are not quoted here.

Second opinion first — before you commit

Not yet sourced

Having your existing diagnosis re-read here is the cheapest way to test a hospital's quality before booking anything. Prices land per hospital with sources — never estimated.

A second opinion changes the plan often enough that specialists expect to be asked for one — it's a normal request, not an insult. Remote-review prices are being collected per hospital.

The care pathway

How the treatment decision is typically made for this condition — your specialist confirms the path for your case.

  1. 1

    See the right specialist

    Care for epilepsy starts with a neurologist, who confirms the diagnosis and plans the next steps.

  2. 2

    Diagnosis & tests

    The diagnosis is confirmed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

  3. 3

    Treatment options

    The specialist maps which of the priced options below fit your case, weighed on outcome, downtime, risk and cost.

  4. 4

    Treatment or management

    The chosen option is carried out or the condition is managed — every option below links to its own price page with a recovery timeline.

  5. 5

Choosing between the options

Modeled preview

What actually decides between the treatments above — and the checklist an expert would put to the specialist.

Decision factors

  • 1How advanced the condition is — stage or severity narrows the menu first
  • 2Your goal: cure, control, symptom relief or appearance
  • 3Downtime you can afford — the options below differ by weeks
  • 4Total cost with travel and follow-up, not just the sticker price
  • 5Your overall health and fitness for anesthesia

Ask the specialist

  1. 1How many of this exact procedure did you perform last year?
  2. 2What is your complication and revision rate for it?
  3. 3What anesthesia will be used, and who administers it?
  4. 4Who manages my aftercare once I fly home, and how?
  5. 5What exactly is included in the quoted price — and what isn't?

A planning frame — suitability is always the specialist's call.
