About Corpus Callosotomy
Corpus callosotomy is epilepsy surgery that cuts the bundle of fibres joining the brain's two halves. It aims to reduce severe drop seizures that medicines have failed to control.
Through a window in the skull, the surgeon divides the corpus callosum, either the front two-thirds or the whole structure, depending on the plan. Cutting the connection limits how quickly seizure activity spreads from one side to the other. It is a palliative operation, used where removing a seizure focus is not possible.
Usually a good fit if
- Frequent drop attacks (atonic or tonic seizures) causing injuries, as in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
- Seizures that remain disabling despite several medicines and when resective surgery is not possible.
- Patients where a palliative goal of fewer, less dangerous seizures is accepted.
- Those who have been assessed by an epilepsy team.
May need to wait if
- A single seizure focus that could be removed instead.
- Severe medical illness making surgery unsafe.
- Expectation of seizure freedom, which is uncommon after this operation.
- Active infection or uncorrected clotting problems.
How to prepare
- Bring video-EEG reports, MRI images and a full list of the anti-epileptic medicines you have tried.
- Do not change anti-epileptic doses unless your neurologist instructs you, and ask how medicine will be handled around surgery.
- Expect blood tests, an MRI and possibly neuropsychological testing.
- Keep a seizure diary and take video of typical seizures if possible.
- Arrange a carer to travel with you, particularly for children.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- What type of seizures will this treat, and what is a realistic improvement?
- Will you cut part or the whole corpus callosum, and in how many stages?
- Could vagus nerve stimulation or other options be better first?
- What are the risks of disconnection effects, such as temporary speech or movement difficulty?
- How many callosotomies do you perform each year?
- How will anti-epileptic medicines be managed afterwards?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Surgery promised as a cure for seizures.
- No comprehensive epilepsy assessment, including video-EEG, beforehand.
- No paediatric neurosurgical and intensive care support when treating a child.
- No discussion of alternatives such as VNS.
