Rasmussen encephalitis (RE) is a rare inflammatory disease affecting one hemisphere, causing progressive neurological deficits and intractable seizures.

Seizure Outcomes and Reoperation in Surgical Rasmussen Encephalitis Patients.

The primary aim of this study is to report long-term outcomes associated with deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) performed at our institution. We further aimed to elicit the factors associated with loss of efficacy and to discuss the need for exploring and establishing reliable rescue targets.

Loss of Efficacy in Ventral Intermediate Nucleus Stimulation for Essential Tremor.

Hemispherectomy is an effective procedure used in the treatment of drug-resistant hemispheric epilepsy, especially in the pediatric population. A number of resective and disconnective techniques are used, and selection of surgical strategy is paramount to achieving successful results. Notably, disconnective (or functional) hemispherotomy maximizes the benefits of safe, surgical disconnection while minimizing hemispheric tissue resection, thereby avoiding some of the perioperative factors contributing to morbidity in traditional anatomical hemispherectomy procedures. In this video, the authors outline the principal surgical steps of disconnective hemispherotomy and highlight important technical factors leading to optimal outcomes in patients with refractory, oftentimes catastrophic, hemispheric epilepsy.
