Unilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is an extremely rare anomaly. Diagnosis is often incidental in a radiological examination. Recognition of this anomaly has important clinical implications because other life-threatening conditions can be associated and it must be taken into account when planning carotid surgery. We report a case of 64-year-old man with agenesis of the ICA.

Thyroid hemiagenesis resulting from the failure of embryologic development of one thyroidal lobe is a very rare anomaly. It is usually incidentally discovered during the investigation of accompanying thyroid disorders. Here we report three cases with right lobe agenesis in two patients and left lobe agenesis in one patient. Two of them were hyperthyroid, while the other euthyroid patient had a ...

We report a case of fetal pericallosal lipoma occurring at the anterior interhemispheric fissure and associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum. During targeted prenatal ultrasonography at 26 weeks' gestation, the lesion was seen as a highly echogenic mass. MR imaging performed at 35 weeks' gestation and during the postnatal period revealed a pericallosal fatty mass and agenesis of the cor...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of permanent tooth anomalies in patients attending the graduate orthodontic clinic at the State University of New York at Buffalo. MATERIALS AND METHODS Charts of 496 subjects (310 females and 186 males) met the inclusion criteria for this study. The mean ages were 16 years and 3 months for the combined gender sample that received orthodontic treatment in...

Patients with pancreatic agenesis are born without a pancreas, causing permanent neonatal diabetes and pancreatic enzyme insufficiency. These patients require insulin and enzyme replacement therapy to survive, grow, and maintain normal blood glucose levels. Pancreatic agenesis is an uncommon condition but high-throughput sequencing methods provide a rare opportunity to identify critical genes t...

Sonographic features are described in six infants in whom total or partial agenesis of the corpus callosum was confirmed by either computed tomographic or pathologic examination. The six patients demonstrated a range of abnormalities involving the neuraxis as well as other systems, notably cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary. Chromosomal abnormalities were present in two patient...

We present this case of uterus didelphys with right sided haematometrocolpos due to obstructed hemivaginaand ipsilateral renal agenesis-Herlyn Werner Wunderlich syndrome. The condition was missed on ultrasoundand diagnosed plain CT scan abdomen and pelvis. This syndrome should be kept in mind while dealing witha young female complaining lower abdominal pain a pelvic mass having unilateral agene...

in this report we introduce two cases of penile agenesis. the first case was a newborn with male appearance and a well developed scrotum containing two normal testes, but the penis and urethral meatus were absent. the bladder was connected to the rectum by an intra-abdominal canal. the second case was a premature newbron of 32 weeks, who died in the first day of life. in addition to penile agen...

The corpus callosum, with its ∼200 million axons, remains enigmatic in its contribution to cognition and behaviour. Agenesis of the corpus callosum is a congenital condition in which the corpus callosum fails to develop; such individuals exhibit localized deficits in non-literal language comprehension, humour, theory of mind and social reasoning. These findings together with parent reports sugg...
