Abstract
Cerebral commissurotomy has often been reported to control seizures in patients suffering from intractable epilepsy. However, in adults, division of the corpus callosum alone was shown to be equally effective while considerably reducing the surgical morbidity. This study of 9 epileptic callosotomized patients suggests that callosal section can also be performed successfully and safely in children. Neurologic and concomitant psychological improvements are described.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
