LITT hemispherotomy can produce seizure freedom with short hospitalization and recovery. Tractography allows surgical planning to be tailored according to individual patient anatomy, which often is distorted in perinatal stroke. Minimally invasive procedures offer the greatest potential for seizure freedom without the risks of an open hemispherotomy.
