The corpus callosum is the most important white matter brain structure that connects both cerebral hemispheres, and represents an important structure studying for neurodegenerative diseases. Thus the corpus callosum characterization and parcellation are desirable tasks, but due to the lack of visible landmarks, shape and intensity variation among subjects, it represents a complex task. This pap...

The coexistence of band heterotopia and polymicrogyria is extremely rare though it has been reported in the presence of corpus callosum anomalies and megalencephaly. We present prenatal and postnatal MRI findings of a rare case of diffuse cortical malformation characterized by polymicrogyria and band heterotopia. Agenesis of the corpus callosum and megalencephaly were also noted. In addition, b...

We describe a patient who presented at our epilepsy-monitoring unit with myoclonic jerks, and was diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). Imaging of his brain revealed partial agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC). We discuss the known genetic basis of both JME and ACC, as well as the role of the corpus callosum (CC) in primary generalized epilepsy. Both JME and ACC are associated wit...

moebius syndrome is a rare congenital disorder of the facial and abducens nerve. other cranial nerves may be involved, such as v, ix and xii. several central nervous system anomalies including hypoplastic or dysplastic brain stem, straightening of the fourth ventricle floor, focal necrosis and calcifications of cranial nerve nuclei have been reported in association with moebius syndrome, but we...
