This article reports the case of a patient with partial agenesis of the corpus callosum manifested with corpus callosum syndrome together with signs of brain hemispheres dysfunction: mental impairment, epilepsy and pyramidal signs. The patient's malformation is combined with left-handedness while signs of callosal disconnection are not present. Mild cognitive impairment and late epilepsy onset ...

Agenesis of the corpus callosum is an anomaly that may occur as isolated or in association with other central nervous system or systemic malformations. We report the case of an infant antenatal diagnosed with ventriculomegaly referred in the postnatal period to our department for imaging evaluation. Ultrasonography showed the absence of the corpus callosum and an interhemispheric lesion highly ...

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, ...

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 ...

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...

OBJECTIVE To describe a clinical report pre- and post-neurofunctional intervention in a case of agenesis of the corpus callosum. CASE DESCRIPTION Preterm infant with corpus callosum agenesis and hypoplasia of the cerebellum vermis and lateral ventricles, who, at the age of two years, started the proposed intervention. Functional performance tests were used such as the neurofunctional evaluati...
