Özet

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the types of the corpus callosum dysgenesis, the associated brain anomalies and clinical findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed the MR imaging findings in 169 patients with callosal dysgenesis. Corpus callosum dysgenesis was categorized into agenesis, hypogenesis and hypoplasia. The associated brain anomalies and clinical findings were evaluated. RESULTS: Associated brain anomalies were observed in 148 patients (87.5%). Twenty-one patients (12.4%) had isolated corpus callosum dysgenesis. Dysgenesis included agenesis in 22 (%13), hypogenesis in 46 (27.2%), and hypoplasia in 101 (59.7%) patients. The clinical findings were most commonly observed in patients with hypoplasia. CONCLUSION: The presence of corpus callosum dysgenesis is a strong indication of possible associated brain anomalies. Corpus callosum dysgenesis and associated brain anomalies should be investigated in children with developmental delay, seizures and microcephaly.
