Abstract

A 10-year-old boy with a history of epileptic seizure for 3 years, showed ataxia and left side weakness. In Brain MRI, hemiatrophy of the right hemisphere was noted. So we considered that he had a cerebral hemiatrophy caused by continued epileptic seizure and treated him with herbal medicine, acupuncture and physical therapy. We report a case of a 10-year-old boy who showed symptoms of a cerebral hemiatrophy caused by maintained epileptic seizure.
