(subcortical structures are usually not removed). It has been carried out in adults in an attempt to restrict the spread of tumours or to relieve very severe epilepsy arising in the context of extensive damage to one side of the brain. The operation has also been used with children and ...
Qualified observers considered that the long-term side effects could be surgically managed. Moreover, the operation remained the viable option for the relief of intractable seizures. Several third-generation case series recently have been published. It is important to compare results, for there are ...
Experiments in rats demonstrated that cerebellar hemispherectomy performed on the 5th or 10th day after birth has more severe effects on locomotor behaviour at adult age than similar lesions on the 30th day (Gramsbergen, A., 1982). Extensive neuronal remodelling appears to occur in rats hemice...

Anatomical hemispherectomy was performed in 18 cases on the left and 25 on the right side. The hemispherectomy was successful in all patients (100%). All patients had infantile hemiplegia concomitant with medically refractory clonic epilepsy. The time of first onset of seizure ranged from 2 ...

I investigated the effects of a variety of clinical factors, such as side of resection, age at surgery, seizure control postsurgery, and etiology on their spoken language outcomes. The results of this investigation suggested that, indeed, etiology proved to be the most reliable predictor of ...
