A 21-year-old male presented to us in status epilepticus. On investigation, he was found to have an extremely rare disorder called 'hemihydranencephaly'. Review of literature revealed that hemihydranencephaly was not always incompatible with life and that research into this disorder would help in understanding the development, functioning, untapped potential and reorganisation capacity of the brain.
一名21岁男性以癫痫持续状态就诊于我们。经检查,发现他患有一种极为罕见的疾病,称为“半侧无脑畸形”。文献回顾显示,半侧无脑畸形并不总是与生命不相容,对这种疾病的研究将有助于理解大脑的发育、功能、未开发的潜力和重组能力。
