Abstract
Traditionally corpus callosotomy is done through a craniotomy centered at the coronal suture, with the aid of a microscope. This involves dissecting through the interhemispheric fissure below the falx to reach the corpus callosum. The authors describe a posterior interhemispheric approach to complete corpus callosotomy with an endoscope, which bypasses the need to perform interhemispheric dissection because the falx is generally close to the corpus callosum in this region.Keywords: CUSA = Cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator; EEG = electroencephalography; corpus callosotomy; drop attacks; endoscopic surgery; epilepsy; intractable seizures; minimally invasive surgery; technique
