Motor Hand Function Posthemispherotomy: A Study of 106 Cases

Introduction: Hemispherotomy for refractory epilepsy typically leads to the loss of contralateral hand function. In children with congenital hemiparesis, however, the manual grasping function can remain unchanged, indicating that motor reorganization had occurred before the operation. The aim of this study was to improve the prediction of individual hand function after hemispherotomy.
