Abstract:
Abnormalities in the corpus callosum, which connects the cerebral hemispheres, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of obsessive-compulsive disorder. This is a report of two cases of obsessive-compulsive disorder associated with hypoplasia of the corpus callosum. These data provide further support for corpus callosum-mediated dysfunction in obsessive-compulsive disorder.
