Hemispherectomy is a very rare neurosurgical procedure in which one cerebral hemisphere (half of the brain) is removed, disconnected, or disabled. This procedure is used to treat a variety of seizure disorders where the source of the epilepsy is localized to a broad area of a single hemisphere of the brain, notably Rasmussen's encephalitis. About one in three patients with epilepsy will continue to have persistent seizures despite epileptic drug therapy.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a type of therapy that uses electrical stimulation to treat Parkinsonâs disease (PD), essential tremor, multiple sclerosis, and certain other neurological conditions.DBS can be effective in treating movement problems such as tremors, stiffness, difficulty in walking, and slowed movement.ovement-related symptoms of PD and other neurological conditions are caused by faulty electrical signals in the areas of the brain that control movement. Unlike earlier surgical procedures that destroyed brain tissue in order to eliminate the faulty signals, DBS does not damage brain tissue.
