Long‐term outcomes of corpus callosotomy in adult patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy: Results from a single neurosurgical center in Mexico
This study analyzed the outcomes of corpus callosotomy (CC) in adult patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. We identified that CC is a safe and effective long-term treatment, with 70% of patients experiencing significant seizure reduction and 11% achieving seizure freedom. While most existing evidence supports CC in children, our findings support its efficacy in adult patients as well.
