Tonic and atonic seizures: what's next--VNS or callosotomy?

William E Rosenfeld1, David W Roberts.   

Abstract

Medically intractable tonic and atonic seizures may be responsive to either vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) or corpus callosum section. VNS has been shown to be effective and is associated with very low morbidity. Callosotomy is a more ambitious procedure, with a higher risk of complications but greater likelihood of seizure improvement.
