Hemispherectomy, or its variant hemispherotomy, is an effective surgical technique to treat patients with hemispheric epilepsy. This surgery removes or disconnects the affected hemisphere from the more appropriately functioning portions of the brain. Though hemispherectomy is a large surgery, in ...
The use ofhemispherectomy, or more correctly hemidecortication, is exclusively for children with intractable epilepsy andhemiplegia. The original procedure consisted of removing the cortex of one hemisphere along with a variable portion of the underlyingbasal ganglia. The extent of surgery depended par...
The operation known as a hemispherectomy—the removal of half the brain-sounds too radical to ever consider, much less perform. In the past century, however, surgeons have done it hundreds of times for disorders that cannot be controlled any other way. Perhaps surprisingly, the surgery has no...
and may return to normal activities within two or three months. Naturally, monitoring is extremely important during this time to measure brain function and possible occurrence of seizures. Patients may need to remain on seizure medication even following the surgery, though seizures will likely be few...

A case of Sturge-Weber disease treated with left hemispherectomy presented, 11 years later, with complications related to delayed intracranial haemorrhage. A loculation syndrome of the right lateral ventricle was detected and it was corrected by a ventriculoatrial shunt operation. The side of the ...

In our modified anatomic hemispherectomy, the effect of the surgery and changes in the skull and brain peduncle after the surgery were unknown, and this study was consequently performed to investigate the effect of modified hemispherectomy on patients with infantile hemiparesis and concurrent ...
Since all left hemispherectomy participants exam- ined more than 1 year after surgery showed no deficits, it can be concluded that the atypical use of a right hemisphere SMA or ante- rior cingulate is not necessarily detrimental to sequence planning and programming. The neural correlate of poor...
