A long-term result after total removal of a @entity438 in early infancy is reported. The @entity1 was a 5-month-old @entity1 with @entity391 , @entity410 and right @entity1269 occurring acutely and shortly before admission. Plain skull films, In-113m brain scintiscanning and carotid angiography revealed a @entity5 located widely over both frontal lobes. At operation, the @entity5 , originated from the base of the anterior half of the cranial cavity. A mature @entity44 weighing 320 grams was totally removed without sacrificing the adjacent brain and vessels. Both cerebral hemispheres were found severely compressed by the @entity5 .

At present, 13 years after operation, he is developing normally for his age. In the junior high school, he studies and plays sports with no handicap. Computed tomography reveals no recurrence of the @entity5 . EEG shows reactive pattern of activity and small, but rare spikes in the frontal area.
