THE RADIOLOGICAL APPEARANCES OF AGENESIS OF THE CORPUS CALLOSUM

The radiological appearances of agenesis of the corpus callosum.

The first case of agenesis of the corpus callosum was reported by Reil in 1812. Eighty-two cases, in which the condition was encountered incidentally at necropsy, were collected from the literature up to 1933 by Baker and Graves.

COMPLETE or partial agenesis of the corpus callosum is uncommon especially in adults; the incidence amongst patients in institutions where numerous air encephalograms are performed is 3% (Carpenter and Drukemiller, 1953). Reil (1812) published the first report of a case, describing the necropsy findings in a 30 year old woman of low mentality; further cases discovered at necropsy were subsequen...
