Division of the corpus callosum for intractable epilepsy was first reported in 1940 (Van Wagenen and Herren, 1940). The exact number of patients included in this original series has never been clear, but it may have been as many as 27. The first ten cases were reported in some detail, but followup data were limited. Subsequent cases were the subject of several psychological studies, but additional clinical information is not available. Interest in callosal section was revived in the 1960s when Bogen and his colleagues began to report the results of their series (Bogen and Vogel, 1962, 1965, 1975; Bogenet al., 1969; Gordonet al., 1971). Clinical data and followup were given for 12 cases, but most attention was directed to the neuropsychological consequences of callosal sectioning. Following this there were several reports concerning the use of callosal section for epilepsy control (Luessenhop, 1970; Luessenhopet al., 1970), but it was not until the initial report from the Dartmouth series that detailed analysis of clinical seizure patterns and prolonged followup data became available (Wilsonet al., 1975). Subsequently there have been a series of articles documenting the progressive accumulation of experience from the Dartmouth program (Wilsonet al., 1977, 1978). This culminated in a recent article describing 20 patients published just after Dr. Wilson’s unfortunate death (Wilsonet al., 1982). Although the Dartmouth series represents the first comprehensive effort at documenting the efficacy of corpus callosal section on seizure control, the numbers remain small and the optimum selection criteria have yet to be determined.
