Vertical perithalamic hemispherotomy: A single‐center experience in 40 pediatric patients with epilepsy

Abstract

We confirm the efficacy and safety of vertical parasagittal hemispherotomy as described by Delalande in a consecutive series of patients treated at our center since 1998. In addition, complete disconnection of the hemisphere in patients with MCD and/or patients with significant involvement of the insula was possible without the complications usually reported with other techniques.
