| Summary: | Though brain hemiatrophy is not among the leading causes of symptomatic epilepsy; the problem remains important and is of great practical interest to neurologists and neurosurgeons in Russia.

This clinical case provides hope for this procedure to show even better results if performed in early childhood. |
