Tammy,
I hadn't herd of cutting the corpus collossum to cure epilepsy.
However I do know of a boy that had the same type of tumor that Julia
had but his was located in 2 ventricles and they needed to cut through
the corpus collossum to get to the tumor in the 3rd ventricle. The
child had seizures both before and after surgery.
