To quantitate the extent of corpus callosum atrophy in multiple sclerosis, midsagittal corpus callosum areas were determined in 48 controls with normal MR scans and 41 patients with definite multiple sclerosis. The mean midsagittal corpus callosum area was 601 mm2 (range 405-791), 641 mm2, and 561 mm2 for all adult controls, for adult males, and for adult females, respectively. Control values w...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate patients with ischemic infarctions in the territory of the corpus callosum to advance our understanding of this rare stroke subtype by providing comprehensive descriptive and epidemiological data. METHODS From January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2014, all cases of acute ischemic stroke diagnosed by clinical manifestation and diffusion weighted imagi...

OBJECTIVE The corpus callosum, the largest white matter tract in the brain, is a midline structure associated with the formation of the hippocampus, septum pellucidum, and cingulate cortex, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Corpus callosum shape deformation, therefore, may reflect a midline neurodevelopmental abnormality. METHOD Corpus callosum area and shape we...

This study was undertaken to determine the topographical organization of fibers coursing through the human corpus callosum. We correlated the distribution of Wallerian degeneration in the corpus callosum with the anatomical sites of focal cortical lesions due to ischemic infarctions or circumscribed contusions. Fibers from the inferior frontal and anterior inferior parietal regions course throu...

Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) is a fatal disorder characterized by demyelination of the corpus callosum. MRI, suggestive of corpus callosum demyelination with associated white matter involvement in both cerebral hemispheres, indicates a diagnosis of MBD. In this case, MR diffusion-weighted findings taken at an acute stage of MBD revealed lesions not only in the corpus callosum but also in t...

OBJECTIVE The corpus callosum is the major commissure connecting the cerebral hemispheres. Prior evidence suggests involvement of the corpus callosum in the pathophysiology of Tourette's disorder. The authors assessed corpus callosum size and anatomical connectivity across the cerebral hemispheres in persons with Tourette's disorder. METHOD The size of the corpus callosum was determined on th...

Aim. This study aimed to determine the morphometric measurement and spatial orientation of corpus callosum in patients with Chiari type I malformation. Methods. In 28 patients with Chiari type I malformation (14 women and 14 men) and 41 healthy individuals between the ages of 3-65, length and height of corpus callosum as well as the central angle and four angles (A, B, C, D angles) to understan...

Introduction The incidence of corpus callosum infarction is low, and sudden cognitive dysfunction caused by corpus callosum infarction is very rare. We report two cases of acute corpus callosum infarction with sudden cognitive impairment, and the related basis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this disease are reviewed. Cases presentation...

Although suspected corpus callosum abnormality is a common indication for fetal MR imaging, biometric data specific to MR imaging are sparse. We sought to characterize growth in corpus callosum length by EGA with fetal MR imaging. Corpus callosum segments were assessed and overall corpus callosum length was measured and plotted against the EGA for 68 anatomically normal fetal brains ranging in ...
