Hemimegalencephaly : A Systematic Comparison of Functional and Anatomic Hemispherectomy for Drug-Resistant Epilepsy
Copyright © Congress of Neurological Surgeons 2023. All rights reserved..
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hemimegalencephaly (HME) is a rare diffuse malformation of cortical development characterized by unihemispheric hypertrophy, drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), hemiparesis, and developmental delay. Definitive treatment for HME-related DRE is hemispheric surgery through either anatomic (AH) or functional hemispherectomy (FH). This individual patient data meta-analysis assessed seizure outcomes of AH and FH for HME with pharmacoresistant epilepsy, predictors of Engel I, and efficacy of different FH approaches.
METHODS: PubMed, Web of Science, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature were searched from inception to Jan 13th, 2023, for primary literature reporting seizure outcomes in >3 patients with HME receiving AH or FH. Demographics, neurophysiology findings, and Engel outcome at the last follow-up were extracted. Postsurgical seizure outcomes were compared through 2-tailed t -test and Fisher exact test. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of Engel I outcome.
RESULTS: Data from 145 patients were extracted from 26 studies, of which 89 underwent FH (22 vertical, 33 lateral), 47 underwent AH, and 9 received an unspecified hemispherectomy with a median last follow-up of 44.0 months (FH cohort) and 45.0 months (AH cohort). Cohorts were similar in preoperative characteristics and at the last follow-up; 77% (n = 66) of the FH cohort and 81% (n = 38) and of the AH cohort were Engel I. On multivariate analysis, only the presence of bilateral ictal electroencephalography abnormalities (hazard ratio = 11.5; P = .002) was significantly associated with faster time-to-seizure recurrence. A number-needed-to-treat analysis to prevent 1 additional case of posthemispherectomy hydrocephalus reveals that FH, compared with AH, was 3. There was no statistical significance for any differences in time-to-seizure recurrence between lateral and vertical FH approaches (hazard ratio = 2.59; P = .101).
CONCLUSION: We show that hemispheric surgery is a highly effective treatment for HME-related DRE. Unilateral ictal electroencephalography changes and using the FH approach as initial surgical management may result in better outcomes due to significantly lower posthemispherectomy hydrocephalus probability. However, larger HME registries are needed to further delineate the predictors of seizure outcomes.
