Impact of clinical variables on intellectual outcomes after hemispherotomy for Rasmussen’s encephalitis: a single-center retrospective study
In RE, early hemispherotomy performed soon after disease onset appears to be associated with better long-term intellectual outcomes. Verbal functions can be recovered following hemispherotomy of the dominant hemisphere, highlighting the preferential reorganization of language in postoperative cognitive recovery. These findings underscore the critical importance of early surgical decision-making in optimizing patient care and maximizing postoperative recovery.
