Corpus Callostomy
A corpus callosotomy is a surgical procedure that may be warranted if a patient's seizures are disabling, if they cause dangerous and frequent falls, or if they begin on one side of the brain and spread quickly to the other side. This procedure involves disconnection of nerve fibers along the brain structure between the right and left hemispheres, thereby interrupting the spread of seizures. Patients usually remain in the ICU or PICU for approximately 24 hours after surgery so that the medical teams can closely monitor any progress and offer medical support. The neurosurgery team and the intensive care unit team will create a treatment plan to assist with problem prevention, pain, nausea or vomiting and fluid intake/output.
