Rasmussen's encephalitis (RE) is a severe, rare, chronic inflammatory brain disease
resulting in drug-resistant epilepsy and progressive destruction of one hemisphere with loss …

Objective We aimed to assess determinants of seizure outcome following pediatric
hemispherotomy in a contemporary cohort. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the …

Children suffering from drug-resistant epilepsy must be quickly referred to a comprehensive
pediatric epilepsy center for a thorough presurgical evaluation. Early referral allows for early …

Objective We aimed to evaluate determinants of functional outcome after pediatric
hemispherotomy in a large and recent multicenter cohort. Methods We retrospectively …

Objective Pediatric epilepsy surgery promises seizure freedom or even cure of epilepsy. We
evaluated the longterm (≥ 10 years) adult clinical outcome including surgeryrelated …

Background and Objectives Hemispheric surgery effectively treats unihemispheric pediatric
drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) by resecting and/or disconnecting the epileptic hemisphere …

Introduction The surgical procedure for severe, drug-resistant, unilateral hemispheric
epilepsy is challenging. Over the last decades the surgical landscape for hemispheric …

Objective Completeness as a predictor of seizure freedom is broadly accepted in epilepsy
surgery. We focused on the requirements for a complete hemispherotomy and hypothesized …

Introduction Present study attempted to analyze seizure freedom and detailed functional
outcomes after functional hemispherotomy and utility of hemispherotomy outcome prediction …

OBJECTIVE Functional hemispherectomy is an effective surgical intervention for select
patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. The last several decades have seen dramatic …
