We studied the normal and abnormal morphology of the corpus callosum in 450 midline sagittal magnetic resonance scans. Clinical information was required to differentiate acquired and congenital defects. Four forms of congenital anomalies were observed: focal attenuations, cysts, partial agenesis, and complete agenesis. Acquired changes resulted from hydrocephalus, white matter diseases, vascular accidents, tumor, and trauma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
