National Organization for Disorders of the Corpus Callosum website, Oct. 7, 2015 (Agenesis of the corpus callosum. A congenital abnormality in which there is a partial or complete absence of the corpus callosum) WebMD website, Oct. 7, 2015 (Agenesis of corpus callosum (ACC) is a rare disorder that is present at birth (congenital). It is characterized by a partial or complete absence (agenesis) of an area of the brain that connects the two cerebral hemispheres. This part of the brain is normally composed of transverse fibers. The cause of agenesis of corpus callosum is usually not known, but it can be inherited as either an autosomal recessive trait or an X-linked dominant trait) MeSH, Dec. 2, 2015 (Agenesis of corpus callosum; scope note: Birth defect that results in a partial or complete absence of the corpus callosum. It may be isolated or a part of a syndrome(e.g., Aicardi's Syndrome, Acrocallosal Syndrome, Andermann Syndrome, and Holoprosencephaly) ; clinical manifestations include neuromotor skill impairment and intellectual disability of variable severity; entry terms: Corpus callosum agenesis, Corpus callosum dysgenesis, Corpus callosum hypogenesis; previous indexing: Corpus callosum/abnormalities) |
