ABSTRACT
Objective To study the results of functional hemispherectomy for pediatric intractable epilepsy with hemisphere lesions , and to explore the indications of functional hemispherectomy , as well as the prognosis. Methods Twenty-four children with intractable epilepsy caused by hemisphere lesions were included , who underwent functional hemispherectomy. All patients were followed up for 3 ~ 48 months. Results All 24 cases obtained improvement of abnormal behavior , and no significant exacerbation of neurological deficits was observed. During the follow-up, 18 cases were in EngelⅠ(75%), 5 in Engel Ⅱ(21%), and 1 in Engel Ⅰ(4%) respectively. No long-term complication was observed. Conclusion Comprehensive presurgical evaluation is a prerequisite for the surgical treatment of pediatric intractable epilepsy caused by hemisphere lesions. Functional hemispherectomy can effectively control seizures and obviously improve the prognosis.
