Decompressive hemicraniectomy in a space-occupying presentation of hemiconvulsion–hemiplegia–epilepsy syndrome

description Abstract A case of an acute life-threatening presentation of hemiconvulsion–hemiplegia–epilepsy (HHE) syndrome requiring an urgent decompressive hemicraniectomy is described. A 9 month-old baby had a status epilepticus following a sustained fever, leading to a comatose state and a right pupillary dilatation associated with a left hemiplegia. The MRI showed a swelling right hemisphere with marked temporal herniation. The baby underwent a decompressive right hemicraniectomy with temporal cortical biopsies. The post-operative course was favourable. The histological findings were unspecific, showing a gliotic spongiosis with disseminated granular cells. The post-operative MRI depicted a right hemisphere atrophy. To our knowledge, a space-occupying presentation of HHE syndrome requiring surgical decompression has never been described before while only a few reports dealt with the neuropathological aspects of this syndrome.
