What Is a Corpus Callosotomy?
http://health.webmd.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/ezn50Nec4j0BaK0BPXt0EK
A corpus callosotomy is an operation that severs the corpus callosum,
interrupting the spread of seizures from hemisphere to hemisphere.
Sometimes called split-brain surgery, the procedure may be performed
in patients with the most extreme and uncontrollable forms of
epilepsy.
