Cerebral Hemispheres01:05

Cerebral Hemispheres

4.0K
The human brain, a complex organ, is functionally divided into two cerebral hemispheres—left and right. These hemispheres are interconnected by a structure of paramount importance, the corpus callosum. This substantial bundle of neural fibers is not just a bridge between the hemispheres but a crucial element for the brain's comprehensive functioning. It enables efficient communication between the two hemispheres, allowing each side of the brain to control and receive sensory and motor...

Sex-linked Disorders01:43

Sex-linked Disorders

95.5K
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

Nondisjunction01:21

Nondisjunction

4.6K
Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate correctly and move to the opposite poles of the cells. This produces daughter cells with abnormal chromosome numbers.  Nondisjunction is common during anaphase I or anaphase II of meiosis.  Mutations in synaptonemal complex proteins that attach homologous chromosomes increase the chances of nondisjunction in anaphase I of meiosis I. In contrast, mutations in topoisomerases and condensins that hold...

Nondisjunction

68.2K
During meiosis, chromosomes occasionally separate improperly. This occurs due to failure of homologous chromosome separation during meiosis I or failed sister chromatid separation during meiosis II. In some species, notably plants, nondisjunction can result in an organism with an entire additional set of chromosomes, which is called polyploidy. In humans, nondisjunction can occur during male or female gametogenesis and the resulting gametes possess one too many or one too few chromosomes.

Summary

Corpus callosum dysgenesis (CCD) in pediatric patients is often associated with asymptomatic closed spinal dysraphisms (CSDs). Early evaluation for CSD in cases of CCD is crucial for timely intervention and preventing neurological deficits.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Corpus callosum dysgenesis (CCD) is a congenital brain abnormality.
  • Closed spinal dysraphisms (CSDs) are developmental anomalies of the spine.
  • The relationship between CCD and asymptomatic CSDs requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between corpus callosum dysgenesis (CCD) and asymptomatic closed spinal dysraphisms (CSDs).
  • To determine the prevalence of CSDs in pediatric patients diagnosed with CCD.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 2,840 pediatric patients evaluated between 2005 and 2013.
  • Cranial MRI identified 85 patients with CCD.
  • Whole spinal vertebral MRI was performed on these 85 patients to detect CSDs.

Main Results:

  • 36.4% (31/85) of patients with CCD showed radiological findings of CSD.
  • Low-lying conus medullaris was the most common finding (26/31), followed by diastematomyelia (16/31) and spinal lipoma (4/31).

Conclusions:

  • Asymptomatic CSDs frequently accompany CCD, indicating a shared developmental origin.
  • Early and comprehensive neuroaxis evaluation, including spinal MRI, is recommended for all patients with CCD.
  • A multidisciplinary approach is essential for managing these complex neurodevelopmental conditions.
