1 Outcomes after surgery, cortical resection, or hemispherectomy in infants with catastrophic focal epilepsy are very good. About 75–78% are seizure-free or have at least a 90% seizure reduction.65,66 Life-saving epilepsy surgery for status epilepticus caused by cortical dysplasia has been reported.67 Source: Epileptic Encephalopathy, Atlas of Pediatric EEG Citation: Laoprasert P.
