Abstract:Background:
Cerebral hemispherectomy is typically used to treat patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Visual-related outcomes are relatively unstudied in this population, aside from the knowledge that patients develop a complete homonymous hemianopia contralateral to the side of the hemispherectomy. The purpose of this study was to determine and characterize parent-reported functional visual, oculomotor, and postural changes in a large population of patients following cerebral hemispherectomy.

“…These symptoms occurred more frequently in dominant hemisphere involvement. Postoperative visual field and/or visual acuity worsening has been demonstrated in pediatric series ( Chen et al, 2019 ; Meer et al, 2021 ). Chen et al (2019) reported that 49 % of their pediatric cases developed de novo or had worsening of their preoperative strabismus.…”

Chen et al (2019) reported that 49 % of their pediatric cases developed de novo or had worsening of their preoperative strabismus. It is of interest, that the vast majority of these patients developed torticollis from compensating for their visual deficits ( Chen et al, 2019 ).…”

It is of interest, that the vast majority of these patients developed torticollis from compensating for their visual deficits ( Chen et al, 2019 ). Similarly, Meer et al (2021) reported in their pediatric series that 56 % of their cases had decreased visual acuity after surgery, 71 % experienced new visual field deficits while visual field impairment preexisted in others ( Meer et al, 2021 ).…”
