Melissa,
If you have a smaller than normal corpus collossum it is
considered digenisus meaning all the curcuitery is there and this is a
form of agenisus. Julia is classified in the digenisus category but
they still diagnosed her with aicardi syndrome anyway. I am not
saying that you have aicardi syndrome or any other syndrome. I am
just not sure you can blame your epilepsy on digenisus of the corpus
collossum because there are people who have the same type of
abnormality as you that don't have epilepsy.
Did you have seizures when you were 8 years old? How old were
you when you started having seizures does your mom remember?
