| Popis: | We studied the postoperative development of 14 children with cortical dysgenesis who underwent modified functional hemispherectomy (hemispherotomy) at the age of 6 years or younger. At follow-up of 24-72 months (median of 47 months), six (43%) were seizure-free, six achieved>90% reduction, one achieved 50-90% reduction, and one achieved 0-50% reduction in seizure frequency. At the preoperative and final postoperative examinations, mean scores of developmental quotient (DQ) were as follows: 25.5 and 31.9 in total DQ, 26.0 and 33.7 in intellectual DQ, and 27.4 and 22.9 in motor DQ. Children scoring >50 points in preoperative intellectual DQ score obtained near-normal intellectual DQ postoperatively, while, those scoring |
