Six patients with new or worsening of already existing hemiparesis recovered within a year after surgery. At the last FU (med 5 ys) favorable outcome (Engel class IA) has been achieved in 6 cases (66.7%), while two patients with persisting seizures reported seizing less frequently (Engel II-III). Three patients were able to discontinue AED-treatment and four children resumed development with improvement in cognition and behavior.
