Split Surgeries are performed to rid a patient of epilepsy. Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes chronic seizures.
Epileptic seizures are caused by an amplification of abnormal brain activity bouncing back and forth between the two cerebral hemispheres. Separating the two hemispheres, by severing the corpus callosum, makes the seizures go away.
The first patient who had a split brain surgery joked afterwards that he had a splitting headache.
