The first case of agenesis of the corpus callosum was reported by Reil in 1812. Eighty-two cases, in which the condition was encountered incidentally at necropsy, were collected from the literature up to 1933 by Baker and Graves. Despite the introduction of pneumo-encephalography by Dandy in 1918 it was not until 1934 that Davidoff and Dyke established its value in the diagnosis of agenesis of ...

Gelastic epilepsy has been reported to originate from various conditions, particularly from hypothalamic hamartoma (HH). In the present study, we report a patient with gelastic seizures (GSs), followed by complex partial and tonic-clonic seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a rare combination of HH and partial agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC). Following resectioning of the H...

BACKGROUND Central nervous system lipomas are rare tumours. In most of the cases they are located in corpus callosum of the brain. The ultrasonographic image of lipomas tends to be quite characteristic. Final diagnosis is however done on a basis of brain resonance. The purpose of this work is to present proceeding in case of central nervous system lipomas with particular attention to diagnostic...

OBJECTIVE To present antenatal sonographic findings and postnatal outcome of a population of foetuses diagnosed with agenesis of corpus callosum. MATERIAL AND METHODS The database of our ultrasound laboratory was retrospectively searched for cases of agenesis of the corpus callosum suspected at antenatal sonography between 2002 and 2012. The following variables were assessed: maternal age, ge...

Sirenomelia is a very rare anomaly presented with fusion of the lower limbs. Genitourinary, neural tube, and vertebral anomalies are found in most cases. We report a case of sirenomelia with agenesis of corpus callosum, which has not been reported previously.
