Detailed explanation-1: -Corpus callosotomy is surgery to treat epilepsy seizures when antiseizure medications don’t help. The procedure involves cutting a band of fibers (the corpus callosum) in the brain. Afterward, the nerves can’t send seizure signals between the brain’s two halves.
Detailed explanation-2: -A corpus callosotomy, sometimes called split-brain surgery, may be performed in people with the most extreme and uncontrollable forms of epilepsy, when frequent seizures affect both sides of the brain.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1940, van Wagenen and Herren first proposed the corpus callosotomy (CC) as a surgical procedure for epilepsy. CC has been mainly used to treat drop attacks, which are classified as generalized tonic or atonic seizures.
