EPILEPSY SURGERY- VARIANT APPROACHES🙇🙇🏻🙇🏼🙇🏾: CORPUS CALLOSOTOMY


✔️Suited for patients with atonic or partial seizures with secondary generalisation 

✔️Either the anterior 2/3rd or the entire corpus callosum is divided in the midline

✔️Uses a bifrontal paramedian scalp incision and elevation of the free bone flap, adjacent to the midline in the region of the coronal suture

✔️Injury to the sagittal sinus can result in massive VAE or haemorrhage 

✔️Preserve the numerous bridging veins across the interhemispheric fissure; otherwise, can result in venous congestion and possible infarction 

✔️Right cerebral hemisphere is gently retracted from the falx: this will expose the paired anterior cerebral arteries and corpus callosum
