Background:
Hemispherectomy is a surgical procedure reserved for hemispheric intractable epilepsy. Sagittal craniosynostosis is a congenital disorder treated with open or endoscope-assisted approaches for synostosis correction. These procedures are not commonly performed in the same setting.
Observations:
In this report, the authors present a 6-month-old female with sagittal craniosynostosis, hemimegalencephaly, and intractable epilepsy who underwent a left hemispherotomy with open sagittal synostosis correction followed by cranial molding orthosis therapy.
Lessons:
The report highlights the technical nuances of the procedure, but also discusses the possible genetic disorder responsible for both conditions, megalencephaly-capillary malformation syndrome.
