title: Multiple subpial transection (MST) for the control of seizures that originated in unresectable cortical foci.
abstract: Multiple subpial transection (MST) was applied to 12 cases with intractable epilepsy, the foci of which were located in unresectable essential areas. The result proved that MST is effective in controlling seizures, and no explicit neurological deficits have incurred postoperatively.
