Child's Nervous System, 2006
Anatomical hemispherectomy is frequently employed in the surgical management of pediatric patients with medically refractory epilepsy.In this chapter, we review the historical evolution of this surgical procedure, outline the indications and the criteria for selecting surgical candidates and describe the important pre-operative evaluation of the ...

Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 1975
A series of ten cases of infantile hemiplegia with behaviour disorders and with or without fits treated by unilateral stereotactic amygdalotomy is described. Out of the eight cases with fits good relief was seen in six and amelioration of the seizures in two. The behavioural disorders were well controlled in all the patients.

Journal of Mental Science, 1954
Hemispherectomy in man (ablation of the cortex, the underlying white matter and nucleus lentiformis) was performed first by Dandy (1928, 1933), later by Gardner (1939) and a few others, on adult patients suffering from large infiltrating tumours of the subdominant hemisphere, with one exception (Zollinger, 1935).

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 1989
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 deterioration, this procedure was all but abandoned for years ...

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2002
Hemispherectomy techniques have undergone multiple changes. Because of these changes, several current alternatives are described. The need for an extensive procedure in young children with special pediatric requirements is the background for the development of newer and more microsurgically oriented techniques aimed at reducing the intraoperative ...

The Early Years of Hemispherectomy
Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2005Today, hemispherectomy is a well-established procedure for the treatment of some sorts of catastrophic epilepsies. This, however, has not always been the case. The technique was developed to deal with brain tumors; however, the initial results were not remarkable. Moreover, when its morbidity became evident, it was almost abandoned. Had it not been for
