The corpus callosum is a structure that connects two halves
(two hemispheres) of the brain. The corpus callosum agenesis is that this
structure does not develop. Normally 12.-18. It must have completed its
development between weeks of gestation. Diagnosis is suspected when ultrasound
cannot be monitored in the brain called corpus callosum and the cavum septum
pellisidum just below, but diagnosis is not easy especially in cases with
partial agenesis.
The corpus callosum agenesis is approximately 80% accompanied
by other anomalies. The rate of accompanying chromosomal anomaly is about 20%.
Therefore, when diagnosing KKA, other anomalies accompanying with detailed
ultrasound and genetic examination are investigated.
If the corpus callosum agenesis is isolated, that is, if
there is no accompanying anomaly, the prognosis will be better. Normal isolated
mental development can be observed in isolated CCA.
