Background and Purpose Hemispherectomy reportedly produces remarkable results in
terms of seizure outcome and quality of life for medically intractable hemispheric epilepsy in …

Hemispheric disconnection has been largely proposed for patients with severe epilepsy
associated with a congenital or acquired hemispheric cerebral pathology. The classical …

Background Hemispherectomy is a surgical procedure used to treat medically intractable
epilepsy in children with severe unilateral cortical disease secondary to acquired brain or …

Object. Cerebral hemispherectomy for intractable seizures has evolved over the past 50
years, and current operations focus less on brain resection and more on disconnection. In …

OBJECTIVE Although hemispherectomy is an effective treatment for children with intractable
hemispheric epilepsy syndromes, as many as 40% of patients eventually develop seizure …

Background Hemispheric brain lesions are commonly associated with early onset of
catastrophic epilepsies and multiple seizure types. Hemispheric surgery is indicated for …

Object Hemispherotomy generally is performed in hemiparetic patients with severe,
intractable epilepsy arising from one cerebral hemisphere. In this study, the authors evaluate …

Introduction The current study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcome of
hemispherotomy in children with refractory hemispherical epilepsy. Methods Retrospective …

Purpose The aim of this study is to describe a series of pediatric hemispherectomies,
reviewing pathologic substrate, epilepsy characteristics and seizure outcome as well as …

Functional hemispherectomy/hemispherotomy is a disconnection procedure for severe
medically refractory epilepsy where the seizure foci diffusely localize to one hemisphere. It is …
