[Ultrasonic diagnosis of agenesis of the corpus callosum]

Agenesis of the corpus callosum may be diagnosed successfully in vivo when sonograms demonstrate absence of corpus callosum, absence of pericallosal and cingulate sulci, wide interhemispheric fissure, small laterally positioned frontal horns with concave lateral borders. Two cases of corpus callosum agenesis were diagnosed in early infancy by ultrasound. Ultrasonographic anatomy of the corpus callosum and characteristic ultrasound features and neurological findings of agenesis are described.
