Agenesis of the corpus callosum.

چکیده
A father and son with agenesis of the corpus callosum are described. An 11-year-old boy underwent clinical examination because of poor school performance. On physical and mental examinations he was normal, except for an enlarged head. Computerized tomographic (CT) scan showed agenesis of the corpus callosum. The patient's father also had an enlarged head. Although he had never had any symptoms, he underwent CT scanning, which revealed agenesis of the corpus callosum. Psychological tests showed good communication between the two cerebral hemispheres. All-night sleep EEGs showed asynchronous sleep spindles.

متن کاملThe prognosis of agenesis of the corpus callosum might mostly be favourable.
The post-natal development of 6 patients with complete agenesis of the corpus callosum was assessed. The diagnosis of agenesis of the corpus callosum had been suspected prenatally in 3 cases. In the remaining 3 cases diagnostic neuro-imaging was performed because of partial seizures (n = 2) and pendular nystagmus (n = 1). The neurological examination was normal in all patients with the exceptio...
