In Scandinavia, at least 11.500 people were lobotomized in the period 1939-1983. Beside grave personality changes, the surgery caused epilepsy in 10-35% of the patients. Moreover, many died due to perioperative bleedings, convulsive status epilepticus or SUDEP. Most of the stories of these people are anonymous and their post-lobotomy lives are scarcely documented. If it was not for the fact that Ellinor Hamsun (1916-1987) was the daughter of the famous Nobel Prize winning Norwegian author Knut Hamsun, her lobotomy story and the subsequent iatrogenic epilepsy would probably have remained unknown.
在斯堪的纳维亚半岛，1939年至1983年期间至少有11500人接受了脑叶切除术。除了严重的性格改变外，该手术还导致10%至35%的患者患上癫痫。此外，许多人死于围手术期出血、癫痫持续状态或不明原因的癫痫猝死。这些人的大多数故事都不为人知，他们接受脑叶切除术后的生活也几乎没有记录。要不是埃利诺·哈姆生（1916年至1987年）是著名的诺贝尔文学奖得主、挪威作家克努特·哈姆生的女儿，她的脑叶切除术经历以及随后引发的医源性癫痫可能仍不为人知。
