What are the ages of the patients who have had this surgery at Barrow? Does age affect outcomes after surgery?
• We have performed the surgery in patients as young as 8 months and as old as 55 years. In general, younger children have recovered quickly while recovery in older patients tends to take longer. The problems associated with HH appear to be progressive. Patients do not seem to respond to medication. They may have difficulties with behavior, including emotional outbursts, and in some cases, rage attacks associated with violent behavior. Usually the frequency of seizures decreases right away, but the behavioral problems may require additional therapy in the patient’s local area. • document.
