This study helps inform physicians and parents of children undergoing surgery for HME by demonstrating that earlier age at seizure onset, absence of EPC and no contralateral EEG seizures were associated with longer postoperative seizure-freedom. At our center, initial AH for HME may provide greater odds of seizure freedom with comparable complications and functional outcomes to FH.
