ABSTRACT
Corpus callosotmy was introduced in 1940 as a palliative treatment for generalized epilepsies. The improvement of the surgical technique, and the simplification of the initial "total commissurotomy" made that procedure proposed in order to decrease the frequency and the severity of the seizures occurring in the secondary geralzed epilepsies. However the indication criteria remain unclear, due to the difficulty for analysing the results and the feterogenity of the series. A careful selection requiring a comprehensive epilepsy team remains mandatory despite the relative simplicity of the procedure.
