Hemispherotomy: efficacy and analysis of seizure recurrence.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: Hemispherotomy generally is performed in hemiparetic patients with severe, intractable epilepsy arising from one cerebral hemisphere. In this study, the authors evaluate the efficacy of hemispherotomy and present an analysis of the factors ... Read more...

Limitations of the transcallosal transchoroidal approach to the third ventricle.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECT: The aim of this study was to determine the anatomical limitations of the transcallosal transchoroidal approach to the third ventricle. METHODS: Twenty-six formalin-fixed specimens were studied. Sagittal dissections were used to determine the ... Read more...

Tonic and atonic seizures: what's next--VNS or callosotomy?

30 Aug 2009 Medically intractable tonic and atonic seizures may be responsive to either vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) or corpus callosum section. VNS has been shown to be effective and is associated with very low morbidity. Callosotomy is a more ambitious ... Read more...
