(1928) [1] |

5 |
Basal ganglia removal, ligation of MCA and ACA at the carotid bifurcation,
Hemisphere removed in fragments |
| Gardner (1933) [20] |
AH |
Neoplasia |
3 |
Basal ganglia preservation improve motor outcome |
| McKenzie (1938) [7[ |

Post-traumatic intractrable seizures |
1 |
En-block hemispheric removal |
| Krynauw (1950) [8] |
AH |

12 |
Reduction in seizure frequency, improvement in cognitive and behavioral outcome |
| Falconer (1960) [11] |
AH |
Sturge –Weber Syndrome |
5 |
Reduction in seizure frequency, improvement in behavioral disorders, and worsening in hemiplegia |
| Oppenheimer and Griffith (1966) [9] |
AH |
Infantile hemiplegia |
18 |
Described the SCH concept (16.6%) |
Wilson
(1968) [10] |
m-AH |
Infantile hemiplegia |
50 |
SCH management with membrane removal, lavage and shunting, and foramen of Monroe obstruction with a muscle plug |
| Rasmussen (1983) [12] |
FH |
Intractable epilepsy |
57 |
FH protects against SCH at the expense of seizure control |
| Delalante (1992 and 2007) [14] |
VPH |
Intractable epilepsy |
83 |
VPH is a safe and effective disconnection technique for intractable epilepsy in children |
| Winston (1992) [22] |
HC |
Chronic epilepsy |
11 |
HC outcome compares favorably with that of more extensive surgical procedures, yet is associated with significantly less risk |
| Schramm (1995) [15] |
HD |
Intractable epilepsy |
13 |
HD entails a smaller trepanation, less operation time, and less blood loss, it leaves more brain tissue, but with equivalent seizure control as compared with other functional hemispherectomy techniques |
| Villemure (1995) [13] |
PIH |
Intractable epilepsy |
11 |
PIH is a minimally-aggressive tractotomy with few complication |
| Schramm (2001) [21] |

20 |
Method of choice in cases with enlarged ventricles or perinatal ischemic cysts and is not recommended for hemimegalencephaly |
