Salvage Trans‐Sylvian Peri‐Insular Hemispherotomy After Embolic Hemispherectomy [PDF]

Annals of the Child Neurology Society
Background Hemispherectomy and hemispherotomy represent well‐established treatments for drug‐resistant hemispheric epilepsy. An alternative endovascular procedure has been explored for cases with challenging surgical anatomy, which seeks to achieve the ...

Pregnancy and delivery after functional hemispherectomy for Rasmussen’s encephalitis: a case report [PDF]

BMC Neurology
Background Rasmussen’s encephalitis (RE) is a rare neurologic disorder characterized by progressive seizures and unilateral cerebral atrophy with onset during childhood and unknown etiology. When medical therapy appears refractory, surgical disconnection

Multi‐disciplinary team approach for pediatric hemimegalencephaly: Insights from a single institutional case series [PDF]

Epilepsia Open
Recent genetic studies have revealed that hemimegalencephaly (HME) is a multi‐system disorder associated with germline or mosaic variants within the PI3K‐mTOR‐GATOR1 signaling pathways.

Case Report: Resting-State Brain-Networks After Near-Complete Hemispherectomy in Adulthood

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
ObjectivesUnderstanding the dynamics of reorganized network-level brain functions after hemispherectomy is important for treatment, prognostication, and rehabilitation of brain injury, but also for investigating questions of fundamental neurobehavioral ...

Evidence for Using ACQUIRE Therapy in the Clinical Application of Intensive Therapy: A Framework to Guide Therapeutic Interactions

Behavioral Sciences, 2023
Intensive therapies have become increasingly popular for children with hemiparesis in the last two decades and are specifically recommended because of high levels of scientific evidence associated with them, including multiple randomized controlled ...

Differential functional reorganization of ventral and dorsal visual pathways following childhood hemispherectomy

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2023
Hemispherectomy is a surgical procedure in which an entire hemisphere of a patient’s brain is resected or functionally disconnected to manage seizures in individuals with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Functional hemispherectomy for patients with adult-onset Rasmussen’s encephalitis

Acta Epileptologica, 2021
Background Surgical treatment for patients with adult-onset Rasmussen’s encephalitis (A-RE) is rarely reported. We investigated the clinical and surgical features of two patients with A-RE who underwent functional hemispherectomy.

Hemimegalencephaly and intractable focal seizures related to NPRL3 mutation with variable familial expressivity treated with anatomic hemispherectomy

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, 2023
Introduction Hemimegalencephaly is a syndrome of dysplastic cortical formation, with hamartomatous overgrowth of a cerebral hemisphere, classically associated with intractable focal epilepsy, hemiparesis, and hemianopia.

Intrinsic Functional Connectivity of the Brain in Adults with a Single Cerebral Hemisphere

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: A reliable set of functional brain networks is found in healthy people and thought to underlie our cognition, emotion, and behavior. Here, we investigated these networks by quantifying intrinsic functional connectivity in six individuals who had

Reorganization of the Social Brain in Individuals with Only One Intact Cerebral Hemisphere

Brain Sciences, 2021
Social cognition and emotion are ubiquitous human processes that recruit a reliable set of brain networks in healthy individuals. These brain networks typically comprise midline (e.g., medial prefrontal cortex) as well as lateral regions of the brain ...
