چکیده

We describe a fetus with agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) and Dandy-Walker malformation that developed a frontal paramidline cyst late in gestation. The interval appearance of the cyst occurred in concert with increasing size of the lateral ventricles, which supports the hypothesis that cysts associated with ACC can develop with increasing intraventricular pressure. Recognition of the potential for a changing appearance of neurologic abnormalities is important to providing appropriate patient counseling.

Interhemispheric arachnoid cyst with agenesis of corpus callosum.

Arachnoid cysts are benign developmental cysts that occur throughout the cerebrospinal axis in relation to the arachnoid membrane and the subarachnoid space(l). Intracranial arachnoid cysts usually occur in close proximity to arachnoid cisterns, most often in the sylvian fissure(2) and they become symptomatic in early childhood(3). We report an interhemispheric arachnoid cyst associated with ag...

Large Sphenoethmoidal Encephalocele Associated with Agenesis of Corpus Callosum and Cleft Palate

Basal encephalocele is a rare craniofacial anomaly. In the present paper we report a 10-year-old boy presented with cleft palate, congenital nystagmus, and hypertelorism. During preoperative evaluation for cleft palate repair, a pulsatile mass was detected in the pharynx. Magnetic resonance imaging showed sphenoethmoidal type of basal encephalocele and agenesis of corpus callosum. Neurosurgical...

Callosal agenesis with cyst: a better understanding and new classification.

OBJECTIVE To analyze imaging studies of 25 cases of agenesis of the corpus callosum with interhemispheric cyst to assess this malformation itself and associated anomalies. METHODS CT (6 patients) and MRI (19 patients) were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were categorized according to morphologic and clinical characteristics. RESULTS Based on morphology, the patients were separated in...

Endoscopic treatment of in utero diagnosed multiloculated interhemispheric cyst in a newborn: case report.

Interhemispheric cysts, often associated with agenesis of corpus callosum, are rare lesions. The optimal treatment is still controversial. Placement of cystoperitoneal shunt and open microsurgery are traditional treatments. Neuroendoscopy in children is due to its minimal invasiveness a new emerging option. There have been a few published cases on neuroendoscopic treatment of interhemispheric c...

Interhemispheric lipoma associated with agenesis of corpus callosum in an infant: case report.

Agenesis of the corpus callosum is an anomaly that may occur as isolated or in association with other central nervous system or systemic malformations. We report the case of an infant antenatal diagnosed with ventriculomegaly referred in the postnatal period to our department for imaging evaluation. Ultrasonography showed the absence of the corpus callosum and an interhemispheric lesion highly ...
