Neurosurgery constitutes the best treatment of choice when AED is not effective. Hemispherotomy is a good option for diffuse unilateral hemispheric involvement and now becoming more common. Since the first surgery in 2016 we retrospectively evaluated the surgical outcome of patients who underwent hemispherotomy in the Vietnam National Children s Hospital.

Results Male was predominance with male female ratio was 10 2. The median age at surgery was years old IQR the median duration of epilepsy prior to surgery was years IQR . Neonatal onset seizure accounted for the highest rate 50 . Pre-operative diagnosis was hemimegalencephaly Rasmussen s encephalitis and secondary cerebral atrophy .
