BACKGROUND Hemispherectomy is a surgical procedure reserved for hemispheric intractable epilepsy. Sagittal craniosynostosis is a congenital disorder treated with open or endoscope-assisted approaches for synostosis correction. These procedures are not commonly performed in the same setting. OBSERVATIONS In this report, the authors present a 6-month-old female with sagittal craniosynostosis, hemimegalencephaly, and intractable epilepsy who underwent a left hemispherotomy with open sagittal synostosis correction followed by cranial molding orthosis therapy. LESSONS The report highlights the technical nuances of the procedure, but also discusses the possible genetic disorder responsible for both conditions, megalencephaly-capillary malformation syndrome.
