Abstract
The authors propose a new method for performing stereotactic callosoto my, which they have named circular callosotomy. The operating device i s the original Riechert-Mundinger's string electrode, which can be pro truded through a side window and by rotating the probe it is possible to cut the commisural pathways to the extent required. The anatomical results of the operation can be checked using MRI scanning.
