Abstract

Hemispherotomy can be a useful procedure in hemispheric syndromes, such as Rasmussen’s encephalitis, congenital stroke, or hemimega-lencephaly. The seizures associated with these syndromes usually remit immediately after hemispherotomy. Presently described is a patient who had a functional hemispherotomy for a congenital middle cerebral artery stroke and whose seizures remitted 2½ years after the op-eration. His postoperative electroencephalogram showed contralateral abnormalities. However, these disappeared with the remission of seizures. One may argue that the disconnection of the abnormal hemisphere could result in the cessation of the epileptogenic potential of the healthy hemisphere by terminating secondary epileptogenesis.

Özet

Hemisferotomi Rasmussen ensefaliti, doğuştan inme ve hemimegalensefali gibi hemisferik sendromlarda oldukça yararlı bir yöntemdir. Bu hastalıklar kaynaklı nöbetler genellikle hemisferotomi sonrası hemen dururlar. Bu yazıda, doğuştan arteria serebri media enfarktı kaynaklı nö-betleri olan, hemisferotomi operasyonu yapılan ve nöbetleri ameliyat sonrası 2.5 yıl sonra duran bir olgu sunuldu. Hastanın ameliyat sonrası elektroensefalografisi (EEG) kontralateral düzensizlikler içermekteydi. Nöbetlerin durması sonrası yapılan EEG’de kontralateral düzensizlikle-rin kaybolduğu görüldü. Bu olguda enfarkt sekelli hemisferin sağlıklı hemisferden ayrılmasının, sağlıklı hemisferin epileptojenik potansiyelini sekonder epileptogenesisi engelleyerek durdurduğu düşünülebilir.
