Hemiconvulsion–hemiplegia syndrome revisited: longitudinal MRI findings in 10 children

Hemiconvulsion–hemiplegia syndrome (HHS) is a rare severe epilepsy of infancy consisting of unilateral convulsive status epilepticus immediately followed by transient or lasting ipsilateral hemiplegia. HHS may occur either in patients with previous brain pathology or without any identified cause, so‐called ‘idiopathic HHS’.
