In 5 cases suffering from intractable seizures and ictal onset in exquisite (primary somatosensory or language related) cortex, surgical therapy has been done consisting wholly or in part of multiple subpial transections. In two cases with involvement of the primary somatosensory cortex, good seizure control without detectable neurological deficit was achieved. In the other three cases with involvement of the language cortex, deficits were minimal and cleared with time. Patients became seizure-free.
