Disconnective hemispherotomy: technique and operative highlights. [PDF]
Hemispherectomy is an effective procedure used in the treatment of drug-resistant hemispheric epilepsy, especially in the pediatric population. A number of resective and disconnective techniques are used, and selection of surgical strategy is paramount to achieving successful results.

Deep learning based tractography with TractSeg in patients with hemispherotomy: Evaluation and refinement [PDF]
Deep learning-based tractography implicitly learns anatomical prior knowledge that is required to resolve ambiguities inherent in traditional streamline tractography. TractSeg is a particularly widely used example of such an approach.

Effect of time to palliative epilepsy surgery on outcomes. [PDF]
Abstract Objective Epilepsy duration is a modifiable risk factor in the outcome of definitive epilepsy surgery; however, an analogous effect in palliative procedures has not been shown. We reviewed the Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Database data for an association between epilepsy duration and seizure reduction in palliative procedures.

Case Report: Subtotal Hemispherotomy Modulates the Epileptic Spasms in Aicardi Syndrome
The mechanism of epileptic spasms (ES) in Aicardi syndrome (AS) remains obscure. We compared intraoperative high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) and phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) before and after subtotal hemispherotomy in a 3-month-old girl with drug ...

The translational asymmetry of corpus callosotomy: Two literatures that answered different questions. [PDF]
Abstract Corpus callosotomy is an established palliative operation for drug‐resistant epilepsy dominated by drop attacks, and it is performed in three extents: anterior, usually of the anterior two‐thirds; total, in one or two stages; and selective posterior, which preserves the genu and rostral body.

Early intensive inpatient rehabilitation for children undergoing hemispherotomy
Background: Hemispherotomy is the treatment of choice for children with refractory epilepsy. Although hemiplegia, sensory and motor impairments result from this surgical procedure, seizure control is effective as well as anticonvulsant dose reduction ...

Case Report: Hemispherotomy in the First Days of Life to Treat Drug-Resistant Lesional Epilepsy
Background: Neonatal drug-resistant epilepsy is often caused by perinatal epileptogenic insults such as stroke, ischemia, hemorrhage, and/or genetic defects. Rapid seizure control is particularly important for cognitive development.
