Abstract

|
|
|
Seizures are the major neurological features of Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) and mostly become intractable. After the onset of uncontrollable seizures, patients may develop a progressive hemiparesis, hemianopsia and mentally retarded. Surgery is recommended as early as possible lo ensure maximal recovery. We report a pediatric case of SWS who was treated surgically. Unlike the routinely performed hemispherectomy procedures, the patient underwent a limited multiple lobar corticectomy because the patient demonstrated mild hemiparesis and preservation of digital dexterity on the affected hand at the time of operation pathology. The pathology showed typical features of SWS With respect to control of intractable seizures, good surgical result was achieved without resecting the whole heimsphere.
