OBJECTIVE
This current study was performed to evaluate whether superficial cerebral haemosiderosis (SCH) is still a complication of modern day anatomical hemispherectomy.
METHODS
We report a 13-year institutional experience with anatomical hemispherectomy for intractable epilepsy. Seizure control at
Hemispherectomy is the most successful operation for the control of seizures in a very select group of patients with infantile hemiplegia and intractable epilepsy. The efficacy of anatomical hemispherectomy has been offset to some degree by the fact that up to one third of those operated upon will
OBJECTIVE
From May 1989 to April 1997, functional hemispherectomy was performed in 8 cases of intractable seizures. We retrospectively analyzed our experience to evaluate the seizure control and complications of this surgical technique.
METHODS
Following Dr. Rasmussen's model of functional
Hemispherectomy, or hemidecorticectomy as it is more accurately described, has been highly effective in reducing or eliminating medically intractable seizures associated with hemiplegia. Because of late onset postoperative superficial cerebral hemosiderosis and its associated neurologic
The serious, late complication of superficial cerebral hemosiderosis, which appears after several years in 1/4-1/3 of patients who have undergone hemispherectomy, has resulted in recent years in a considerable reluctance to carry out this operation despite the fact it has proved to be highly
To evaluate microsurgical trans-sylvian trans-ventricular anatomical hemispherectomy with regard to seizure outcome, risk of hydrocephalus, blood loss, and risk of chronic hemosiderosis in patients with intractable seizures selected for surgery using current preoperative assessment Epilepsy after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (post-SAH epilepsy) is a critical complication that influences clinical and social prognoses. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated the relationship between hemosiderosis and the incidence of post-SAH epilepsy. About 50
We analysed 27 complex partial seizures arising from the temporal lobes recorded on videotape simultaneously with the EEG emphasizing the motor manifestations specially dystonic posturing, ictal paresis and head and eye forced deviation (version). The temporal lobe origin of the seizures was based
This article reported a familial occurrence of intracerebral cavernous angioma in four members of one generation diagnosed by X-ray CT, MRI or operative specimen. Case 1, a 34-year-old female, was examined just after an episode of sudden convulsive seizure. On examination, she had a cutaneous
Hemispherectomy for intractable unihemispheric epilepsy (IUE) has long been established in pediatric patients. This study reports the first series examining hemispherectomy exclusively in adult patients (>18 years old). Nine adults with IUE underwent hemispherectomy at the University of Minnesota.
The history of surgical treatment for hemispheric epilepsy is rich with colorful twists and turns. The authors trace the evolution of the surgical treatment of hemispheric epilepsy from radical anatomic resections to current less invasive disconnection procedures. Anatomic hemispherectomy (AH) was
Hemispherectomy is a valuable procedure in the management of seizure disorders caused by unilateral hemispheric disease. Modifications to anatomical hemispherectomy have been proposed to reduce the incidence of superficial cerebral hemosiderosis and hydrocephalus while still achieving seizure
OBJECTIVE
Hemispherectomy and disconnective hemispherotomy are the most effective epilepsy surgical procedures for the treatment of epilepsy due to hemispheric pathologies such as Sturge-Weber syndrome, diffuse hemispheric cortical dysplasia, and posttraumatic and postischemic focal lesions.
OBJECTIVE
To explore the effectiveness of modified hemispherectomy for intractable epilepsy in patients with infantile hemiplegia.
METHODS
Eighteen cases of patients were treated with modified hemispherectomy and the effectiveness was studied and followed up.
RESULTS
The seizures in all 18 cases of
Anatomical hemispherectomy has been used for the treatment of seizures since 1938. However, it was almost abandoned in the 1960s after reports of postoperative fatalities caused by hydrocephalus, hemosiderosis, and trivial head traumas. Despite serious complications, the remarkable improvement of
