Serious cases of epilepsy may be treated surgically by

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Serious cases of epilepsy may be treated surgically by corpus callosotomy.

Explanation:

Corpus callosotomy is a neurosurgical procedure in the corpus callosum, the nerve bundle in the brain that connects the left and right hemispheres. The procedure means that the nerve bundle is completely or partially cut. Today, surgery is rare and is used as a last resort for difficult-to-treat epilepsy, usually against very severe forms of epilepsy that involve the risk of serious fall injuries or other injuries to the patient. The operation means that communication between the cerebral hemispheres is broken, making it more difficult for the epileptic seizure to spread from one cerebral hemisphere to the other.
