We are talking about physical brain damage, so epilepsy doesn't count since that's an electrical impulse misfire situation.

I don't recall the kanima scene, if you know the episode I would love to check it out.

Humans can survive trepanation. I admit to not doing a lot of research into it, but I think that's because they haven't drilled into the brain itself, and if/when they have, the brain damage is never healed, it may scar over, but there is (mostly)always irreparable damage to abilities when the brain has been traumatized in humans
