We aimed to analyse the ictal electrographic changes on scalp electroencephalography (EEG), focusing on high-voltage slow waves (HVSs) in children with epileptic spasms (ES) and tonic spasms (TS) and then identified factors associated with corpus callosotomy (CC) outcomes. We enrolled 17 patients with ES/TS who underwent CC before 20 years of age. Post-CC Engel's classification was as follows: I in 7 patients, II in 2, III in 4, and IV in 4. Welch's t-test was used to analyse the correlation between ictal HVSs and CC outcomes based on the following three symmetrical indices: (1) negative peak delay: interhemispheric delay between negative peaks; (2) amplitude ratio: interhemispheric ratio of amplitude values for the highest positive peaks; and (3) duration ratio: interhemispheric ratio of slow wave duration. Ages at CC ranged from 17-237 months. Four to 15 ictal EEGs were analysed for each patient. The negative peak delay, amplitude ratio and duration ratio ranged from 0-530 ms, 1.00-7.40 and 1.00-2.74, respectively. The negative peak delay, amplitude ratio and duration ratio were significantly higher in the seizure residual group (p = 0.017,
