RS Hemispherectomy
We are a group of families that share information about our experiences in dealing with neurological problems relating to children. A central theme is the hemispherectomy surgical procedure. This involves the removal of one side of the brain. Many times this surgery is necessary as a result of Rasmussen's Syndrome (RS), a degenerative brain disorder. Many of us have had experience with hemispherectomy procedure with our children.
