Modified Vertical Parasagittal Sub-Insular Hemispherotomy—Case Series and Technical Note
Brain Sciences, 2023 (1) Background: Hemispherotomy is the generally accepted treatment for hemispheric drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Lateral or vertical approaches are performed according to the surgeon’s preference.

Endoscopic corpus callosotomy and hemispherotomy [PDF]
Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, 2015 OBJECT Corpus callosotomy and hemispherotomy are conventionally performed via a large craniotomy with the aid of a microscope for children with intractable epilepsy. Primary technical considerations include completeness of disconnection and blood loss.

Contralesional White Matter Alterations in Patients After Hemispherotomy
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020 Cerebral lesions may cause degeneration and neuroplastic reorganization in both the ipsi- and the contralesional hemisphere, presumably creating an imbalance of primarily inhibitory interhemispheric influences produced via transcallosal pathways. The two

Functional redundancy of the premotor network in hemispherotomy patients
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2021 Objective Using multimodal imaging, we tested the hypothesis that patients after hemispherotomy recruit non‐primary motor areas and non‐pyramidal descending motor fibers to restore motor function of the impaired limb.

The periinsular functional hemispherotomy
Neurosurgical Focus, 2012 The surgical treatment of refractory epilepsy has evolved as new innovations have been created. Disconnective procedures such as hemispherectomy have evolved. Presently, hemispherotomy has replaced hemispherectomy to reduce complication rates while maintaining good seizure control.

Intraoperative acidosis related to chronic zonisamide therapy. [PDF]
Pediatric Anesthesia and Critical Care Journal (PACCJ), 2021 Zonisamide is a novel anticonvulsant agent used in the treatment of partial and generalized seizures in children and adults. In addition to its anticonvulsant effects, zonisamide inhibits carbonic anhydrase and may result in a chronic, non-anion gap ...
