Résumé
Refractory subhemispheric epilepsy has been traditionally treated by resection. The last few decades have seen the emergence of disconnective techniques, for both hemispheric and subhemispheric disease. The aim of this study was to describe the technique for a disconnective surgery for large epileptogenic lesions involving the central (perirolandic cortices), parietal, and occipital lobes. This junctional cortex within the hemisphere (in contrast to anterior and posterior quadrantotomies) presents unique challenges when contemplating a complete disconnection of the region. The surgical technique is achieved through six distinct steps: fronto-central, inferior frontoparietal, lateral temporo-occipital, medial frontal, basal temporo-occipital, and posterior parasagittal callosal disconnections. The functional neuroanatomy of each step is described, along with cadaveric dissections. The authors describe this technique and include a case description of a young girl who presented with childhood-onset intractable epilepsy associated with cognitive stagnation. The postoperative seizure outcome in this patient remains excellent at 2 years' follow-up, with gains in cognition and behavior. Excellent seizure outcomes can be achieved if the network encompassing the entire epileptogenic cortex is disconnected while ensuring preservation of fiber systems that link functionally eloquent uninvolved cortices adjacent to the central quadrant.
