DOI: 10.1002/epi4.12698
Abstract: We aimed to analyze the efficiency of corpus callosotomy (CC) and subsequent disconnection surgeries in patients with late‐onset epileptic spasms (LOES) by comparing post‐encephalitis/encephalopathy (PE) and non‐encephalitis/encephalopathy (NE). We hypothesized these surgeries can control potential… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00381-020-04698-0
Abstract: Purpose Atonic seizures are associated with a particularly poor response to medical treatment. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of corpus callosotomy (CC) and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2020.09.006
Abstract: BACKGROUND The corpus callosotomy (CCT) has been reported as an effective procedure to alleviate drop attacks. However, the extent of CCT remains debatable. Classical studies suggest that motor fibers traverse mainly through the anterior half… read more here.
