Abstract
The sequelae of transcallosal surgery were assessed clinically in 15 children. Isolated transection of the corpus callosum does not leave any pronounced sequelae when there are no lesions of the cerebral hemisphere. In cases with disturbances of some centers or analyzers, especially in the proprioceptive analyzer in the cortex of the parietal lobe, loss of recent memory, hypokinesia, ideomotor apraxia and astereognosia may develop. The signs are mixed and it is difficult to classify them. We can speak of disjunctive syndromes. The transcallosal approach is suitable in the case of lesions in the anterior part of the third and lateral ventricles.
