title: Hemispherectomy in a premature neonate with linear sebaceous nevus syndrome.
abstract: A male neonate with seizures, linear sebaceous nevus syndrome and hemimegalencephaly underwent hemispherectomy at 36 weeks' gestational age. He has had no clinical seizures in the 13 months since surgery but continues to have sharp wave activity over some parts of the intact hemisphere. He has moderate developmental delay and a mild hemiparesis but is making developmental progress.
