In children with MCD and vascular lesions, although developmental progression is apparent, significant post-surgical improvements are restricted by the severity of pre-surgical neuropsychological disturbances and a slow maturation. Early surgery assessment is recommended to enhance the possibilities for a better quality of life in terms of seizure control, as well as better autonomy and socialization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
