Abstract: BACKGROUND: Cerebral hemispherectomy can effectively treat unihemispheric epilepsy. However, posthemispherectomy hydrocephalus (PHH), a serious life-long complication, remains prevalent, requiring careful considerations in technique selection and postoperative management. In 2016, we began incorporating open choroid plexus… read more here.
