Abstract
Long term post-encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis (EDAS) intelligence quotient (IQ) evaluated by Wechsler tests stays around the normal rang e (mean full intelligence quotient (FIQ), verbal intelligence quotient (VIQ) and performance intelligence quotient (PIQ) at 100.0 +/- 155, 1 00.0 +/- 15.7 and 100.2 +/- 163, respectively) at more than 9.5 years after the operation, provided that the patient has FIQ above 70 pre-op eratively. This fact encourages us to employ operative treatment for t his difficult disease in which intelligence deterioration has been rep orted to be a common occurrence. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
