ruzuzu commented on the word corpus callosotomy
"The symptoms of refractory epilepsy can be reduced by cutting the corpus callosum in an operation known as a corpus callosotomy. This is usually reserved for cases in which complex or grand mal seizures are produced by an epileptogenic focus on one side of the brain, causing an interhemispheric electrical storm."
--Wikipedia
Cf. hemispherectomy.
