ETP037 Functional hemispherectomy in an epileptic child affected with sequelae of ischaemic stroke including unilateral thalamic lesion: effectiveness towards electrical status epilepticus during sleep

Children with unilateral brain lesions and seizures may become seizure-free after epilepsy surgery, even if the preoperative electroencephalogram shows generalized ESES. The lesion occurring early in life and the location of the lesion may play a role in the development of ESES. Cognitive impairment may be aggravated by the persistence of ESES. Preliminary developmental data in this small sample suggest that termination of seizures and possibly of ESES by epilepsy surgery may have developmental benefits.
