Hydrocephalus After Hemispherectomy And Other Resective Procedures

Hydrocephalus After Hemispherectomy And Other Resective Procedures Ppt When comparing anatomic to functional hemispherectomy techniques, anatomic hemispherectomy was associated with a higher risk of developing hydrocephalus (30% v. 20%, p<0.0001). other significant variables associated with a higher risk of hydrocephalus included: the inclusion of basal ganglia and or thalamus in the resection, prior brain surgery. Dr. aria fallah, a fellowship trained pediatric neurosurgeon who practices at ucla mattel children’s hospital and ronald reagan ucla medical center and assistant professor of neurosurgery and pediatrics at the david geffen school of medicine at ucla, discusses hydrocephalus after hemispherectomy and other procedures at the 2017 pediatric epilepsy surgery conference and family reunion.

Hydrocephalus After Hemispherectomy And Other Resective Procedures A retrospective chart review was performed on all available patients who had hemispherectomy surgery. data collected included surgical techniques, etiology of seizures, prior brain surgery, symptoms and signs of hydrocephalus, timing of shunt placement, and basic demographics. key findings: data were collected from 736 patients who underwent. The incidence of hydrocephalus following hemispherectomy has been estimated between 10 and 30% [5, 6, 8, 9]. the risk of developing post hemispherectomy hydrocephalus depends on factors such as the underlying etiology that led to the hemispherectomy, the patient’s age, and the type of surgical approach used [2, 5–9].
