Successful corpus callosotomy for Doose syndrome.

Doose syndrome (epilepsy with myoclonic-atonic seizures) is an epilepsy syndrome with an incidence of approximately 1–2% of childhood-onset epilepsies. Although this syndrome is associated with multiple types of generalized seizures, the diagnosis is based on the presence of myoclonic-atonic seizures. Eighteen percent of patients have refractory seizures and intellectual disabilities. There have, however, been a few reports on the efficacy of surgical treatment for Doose syndrome.
