Bilateral intracranial EEG with corpus callosotomy may uncover seizure focus in nonlocalizing focal epilepsy
PURPOSE To evaluate the value of a new multi-stage surgical procedure using bilateral intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) prior and post complete corpus callosotomy (CC) for epileptogenic focus localization. METHOD Thirty patients with drug-resistant epilepsy underwent bilateral iEEG monitoring to localize epileptogenic focus for surgical treatment. Among them, bisynchronous epileptogeni...

Corpus callosotomy (CC) has been employed in the management of intractable epilepsy since 1940’ and should be considered for patients with generalized falling seizures with physical injury, recurrent life-threatening generalized convulsive status epilepticus or atypical absence status’. CC is especially useful in improving seizure control in patients with tonic and atonic seizures3 and those wi...
متن کاملReinventing the corpus callosotomy.
Surgical section of the corpus callosum is an old operation. It was first performed to treat epilepsy more than 75 years ago. Early procedures often consisted of a “total commissurotomy,” performed through a right frontoparietal craniotomy, with division of the entire corpus callosum, the ipsilateral fornix, the anterior commissure, and even the massa intermedia of the thalamus. Subsequently, s...
متن کاملCorpus callosotomy in refractory idiopathic generalized epilepsy
RATIONALE A small percentage of patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) do not respond to medical therapy. Generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) seizures are especially debilitating and can be associated with severe injuries. The benefit, safety and effect of corpus callosotomy (CC) in patients with IGE have not been studied. METHODS We reviewed patients with presumed IGE who underwent C...
متن کاملMR Imaging of Corpus Callosotomy 677
MR findings in 13 patients who underwent corpus callosotomy for medically intractable seizures were reviewed. Preoperative MR studies were available in nine patients: five showed at least one morphological and/or MR signal abnormality including corpus callosal thinning (four cases), cerebellar atrophy (two cases), cortical atrophy (two cases), and periventricular hyperintensity on T2-weighted i...
