DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000207425
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Hemispheric surgery effectively treats unihemispheric pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) by resecting or disconnecting the epileptic hemisphere. Modifications to the original anatomic hemispherectomy have generated multiple functionally equivalent, disconnective techniques for performing hemispheric surgery, termed… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2021.683729
Abstract: 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-resistant ES secondary… read more here.
