Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum
Abstract
Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum (ACC) is a rare congenital disorder. There is a complete or partial absence of the corpus callosum. Agenesis of the corpus callosum occurs when the corpus callosum, the band of white matter connecting the two hemispheres of the brain, fails to develop normally, typically in utero.
A 28 year old male patient admitted with headache, giddiness and loss of consciousness was diagnosed after imaging as a case of ACC.
The diagnosis of callosal agenesis is by neuroimaging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently the imaging procedure of choice in infants and children with ACC.
There are currently no specific medical treatments for callosal disorders, but individuals with ACC and other callosal disorders may benefit from a range of developmental therapies, educational support, and services.
