Abstract
We are grateful for the opportunity to respond to the comments by Dr. Abe on our research.1 As described in the Results section of the article, 11 patients had a preoperative deficit that was either permanent (including a spastic component in 2 and arm atrophy in 1) or fluctuating, according to the seizure frequency (clumsiness or hemineglect). Postoperatively, all of them had a transitory worsening (which was major in 5 patients), and then, a recovery included functional improvement in 4. Among the 49 patients with normal preoperative examination, 41 had a postoperative deficit (which was major in 14).
