Dr. Theodore Schwartz, Dr. Jeffrey Greenfield, and Dr. Juliann Paolicchi were all featured in the New York Daily News on October 7, 2012. The article told the dramatic story of simultaneous surgeries — on a 12-year-old girl, whose procedure provided relief from epileptic seizures; and on her father, whose heart attack at his daughter's bedside required a lifesaving stent to open a blocked artery.
Dr. Schwartz, the director of epilepsy surgery at the Weill Cornell Brain and Spine Center, and Dr. Greenfield, a pediatric neurosurgeon specializing in epilepsy, performed the surgery on 12-year-old Khosboo Persaud. This advanced surgery uses high-tech mapping to pinpoint the exact location of the seizures, which allows surgeons to remove the malfunctioning area without damaging nearby healthy brain tissue.
