I'm grateful to work with an incredible team at @UCLAHealth tackling Hemimegalencephaly (HME) and its challenges. Our progress builds upon the foundational work of giants in the field, striving for better patient outcomes.
Hemimegalencephaly (HME) is a rare disorder that can result in drug-resistant epilepsy. Dr. Aria Fallah @a__fallah & colleagues reported on 56 pediatric patients with HME-related drug-resistant epilepsy who underwent hemispheric surgery at UCLA. Read more: https://t.co/QyHZUU6NC0

Go Lucy!
Lucy was born with a rare neurological disease that's caused her to have life-threatening seizures called hemimegalencephaly.
