MRI assessment of human callosal surgery with neuropsychological correlates

MRI imaging using recovery and spin-echo techniques was carried out on three patients after surgical section of the corpus callosum to control intractable epilepsy. The scans revealed that the total callosotomy had been obtained in two patients, while partial sparing of splenial and rostra1 fibers was seen in the third.
