COMPLETE or partial agenesis of the corpus callosum is uncommon especially in adults; the incidence amongst patients in institutions where numerous air encephalograms are performed is 3% (Carpenter and Drukemiller, 1953). Reil (1812) published the first report of a case, describing the necropsy findings in a 30 year old woman of low mentality; further cases discovered at necropsy were subsequen...

The corpus callosum, with its ∼200 million axons, remains enigmatic in its contribution to cognition and behaviour. Agenesis of the corpus callosum is a congenital condition in which the corpus callosum fails to develop; such individuals exhibit localized deficits in non-literal language comprehension, humour, theory of mind and social reasoning. These findings together with parent reports sugg...

this case report presents a coincidence of trisomy 18 and balanced robertsonian translocation (13;14). aneuploidy was suspected based on anomalies detected in ultrasound scan and confirmed with karyotype. in a 31 years-old healthy woman with a history of one miscarriage, second trimester ultrasound scan reported iugr (<3rd percentile) with normal amniotic fluid, bilateral choroid plexus cysts, ...

Corpus callosum is the major interspheric fiber bundle that connects two cerebral hemispheres. agenesis among most common brain malformation, which has a wide spectrum of presentation ranging from mild intellectual disability to severe developmental delay and refractory seizures. We here report case complete corpus presenting with gait abnormality in an otherwise normal child.

The role of the corpus callosum (CC) in the interhemispheric interaction of prosodic and syntactic information during speech comprehension was investigated in patients with lesions in the CC, and in healthy controls. The event-related brain potential experiment examined the effect of prosodic phrase structure on the processing of a verb whose argument structure matched or did not match the prio...

Laboratory and home dream recall was studied in four subjects with agenesis of the corpus callosum and in four control subjects who were matched for age, gender, and handedness. In addition, the structural and emotional content of home dreams was compared for these two groups. Results indicate that acallosal subjects recalled fewer dreams in the laboratory than did control subjects, but recalle...
