< b>Functional hemispherectomy: A functional hemispherectomy is a variation
of a hemispherectomy, a radical procedure in which one entire hemisphere, or one
half of the brain, is removed. With a functional hemispherectomy, one hemisphere
is disconnected from the rest of the brain, but only a limited area of brain tissue
is removed. This surgery generally is limited to children younger than 13 years
old who have one hemisphere that is not functioning normally.
