Callosotomy for intractable epilepsy from bihemispheric cortical dysplasias

Four patients suffering for severe drug-resistant epilepsy from bihemispheric cortical dysplasias underwent anterior callosotomy. One of these patients also presented mental retardation of mild degree associated with the epileptic syndrome. There were no operative complications in this series. Clinical signs of interhemispheric disconnection were not detectable postoperatively.
