A Rare Coexistence of Partial Agenesis of Corpus Callosum and Diastematomyelia
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Corpus callosal agenesis (partial or complete) is a congenital malformation of the brain that is relatively rare and often associated with other anomalies of the central nervous system like Chiari malformation, Dandy Walker syndrome, lissencephaly and holoprosencephaly. Its association with a congenital spinal dysraphism called diastematomyelia is relatively rare. A case of coexisting partial agenesis of corpus callosum and diastematomyelia of the lumbar spinal cord, is reported here, in a 23 day old female neonate presenting with repeated attacks of seizures since birth
