Case highlights effective treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy in pediatric atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor patients, suggesting surgical viability in complex cases.
In carefully selected patients with aggressive tumor, unilateral seizure onset and preexisting deficits, hemispherotomy can be a well-tolerated and effective treatment for DRE, even in nontraditional contexts such as ATRT. This case highlights the importance of weighing surgical risks against functional baseline when considering epilepsy surgery in pediatric tumor cases. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24728.
