Corpus callosum infarcts with atypical clinical and radiologic presentations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infarcts of the corpus callosum have not been well documented in the radiologic literature. We present five cases that were unusual in either their clinical or radiologic presentation or both. Biopsies were performed in three of the five cases, and in time, all lesions evolved in a pattern consistent with infarct. Recognition of the varied clinical and radiologic presentation of infarcts of the corpus callosum will obviate the need for biopsy in most patients.

Corpus callosum infarcts are rare, constituing 0.6% of cerebral infarcts, most likely due to a rich blood supply from three main arterial systems. These infarcts may present with slowly evolving and non-localizing neurologic signs and symptoms that suggest the diagnosis of neoplasm rather than infarct. In addition, they may exhibit radiologic features more often associated with neoplasm, such a...

متن کاملLarge Sphenoethmoidal Encephalocele Associated with Agenesis of Corpus Callosum and Cleft Palate
Basal encephalocele is a rare craniofacial anomaly. In the present paper we report a 10-year-old boy presented with cleft palate, congenital nystagmus, and hypertelorism. During preoperative evaluation for cleft palate repair, a pulsatile mass was detected in the pharynx. Magnetic resonance imaging showed sphenoethmoidal type of basal encephalocele and agenesis of corpus callosum. Neurosurgical...
