Endoscope-assisted corpus callosotomy for drug-resistant epilepsy in Moyamoya disease after revascularization surgery: A case report
Background
Approximately 20 % of patients with Moyamoya disease develop drug-resistant epilepsy; however, the unusual hemodynamics following revascularization surgery increase the complexity of surgical interventions.
Case
We report a case of a 9-year-old girl with Moyamoya disease who underwent revascularization surgery at the age of 2 and subsequently developed drug-resistant epilepsy characterized by focal-to-atonic seizures and startle seizures that resulted in traumatic injury. After thorough preoperative evaluations of both intracranial and extracranial hemodynamics, a safe craniotomy entry site was identified in the high frontal region. Corpus callosotomy was achieved via a small craniotomy with neuroendoscopic assistance. Postoperatively, the frequency of startle seizures decreased to levels that no longer caused trauma, and the focal-to-atonic seizures were reduced by more than 50 %.
Conclusion
Corpus callosotomy via a small craniotomy may be an effective treatment option for drug-resistant epilepsy associated with Moyamoya disease.
