ABSTRACT

Fifty patients with intractable epilepsy were treated in the years from 1984-1986. Anterior callo-sotomy was performed on all the patients, and cingulectomy was added in 19 patients with psychorea-ction. There was no mortality or any serious operative complication. The effective rate was 88%. In this paper the mechanism of the operative procedure and indication are briefly discussed. In conclusion, it may be stated that the operative results are satisfactory.
