Great Ormand Street

A teenage boy with epilepsy who has become the first child in the UK to have a device fitted into his brain has seen a huge reduction in life-threatening seizures.

Oran Knowlson, now 13, had a neurostimulator fitted into his brain last October and has since had an 80 per cent reduction in the number of seizures he has each day.
