We report the case of a 12-year-old girl who had mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) associated with acutepyelonephritis caused by |
Partial trisomy 3p results from either unbalanced translocation or |
Transient magnetic resonance (MR) signal changes in the splenium of the corpus callosum (SCC) arise from many different conditions, including encephalopathy or encephalitis caused by infection, seizures, metabolic derangements, and asphyxia. Few case reports exist on reversible SCC lesions associated with rotavirus infection. A benign convulsion with mild gastroenteritis (CwG) is frequently associated with rotaviral infections. This entity is characterized... |
Purpose : The development of the corpus callosum occupies the entire period of cerebral formation. The myelination pattern on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is very useful to evaluate neurologic development and to predict neurologic outcome in high risk infants. The thickness of the corpus callosum is believed to depend on the myelination process. It is possible to calculate the length... |
Apert's syndrome(acrocephalosyndactyly) is a rare congenital anomaly that is characterized by the combination of premature fusion of multiple cranial sutures primarily involving the coronal suture and severe symmetrical syndactyly of fingers and toes. Some patients of this syndrome have various abnormalities of the central nervous system. We experienced a case of Apert's syndrome with craniofacial malformations, symmetric syndactyly, occipital encephalocele... |
Agenesis of corpus callosum occurs sporadically and may be transmitted as sex-linked, or autosomal-dominant or recessive traits. It has been associated with different syndromes. Clinical pictures vary from severe intellectual and neurologic abnormalities to asymptomatic and normaly intelligent cases. Agenesis of corpus callosum may occur alone, but it is more frequently associated with a high incidence of other anomalies. We... |
Neuronal migrational disorders of the brain represent abnormalities in the formation of the neocortex caused by faulty migration of the subependymal neuroblasts. The neuroblasts normally migrate between the sixth and 15th gestational week and in doing so form the six-layered neocortex. When the migration does not occur in a normal fashion the resultant brain anomalies include lissencephaly, pachygyria, schizencephaly, hemimegalencephaly, heterotopia, and polymicrogyria. Neuronal heterotopia is... |
While lipomas are common in the rest of the rest of the body, intracranial lipomas are rare condition which are usually found in the midline of the brain. The majority of these lesions show few or even no symptoms and hardly ever produce alarming neurological defects. We experienced a case of corpus callosum lopoma in a 7 year old boy, who... |
Agenesis of corpus callosum is a relatively comon malformation that may occur in isolation or in combination with other cerebral malformations. A male newborn who presented generalized convulsion showed agenesis of the corpus callosum and septum pellusidum, gyral malformation, and diffuse leukomalacia on postmortem examinations. Also a female newborn with a cystic lesion in brain by antenatal neurosonography showed partial... |
Agenesis of the corpus callosum is a form of dorsal midline dysgenesis Malformation of the corpus callosum may vary from partial absence of the corpus callosum and surrounding structure. We experienced a case of corpus callosum agenesis in a one day old neonate who showed facial anom- alies. Brain CT demonstrated a typical picture of corpus callosum agenesis and then we confirmed by autopsy. A brief... |
In agenesis of the corpus callosum, the major nerve fiber tracts that connect the two carebral hemisphere are absent, and various associated anomalies involve almost all organs. We experienced a case of corpus callosum agenesis associated with situs ambiguus that has not been reported until now. A brief review of related literatures was done. |
26 cases of partial agenesis of the corpus callosum diagnosed at Pediatric Department of Yonsei Medical Center for 8 years from Jan. 1980 to Dec. 1987 and clinical information has been analized and we got following results. 1) The sex ratio of male to female was 1:1.9. 2) Among the 26 cases, 23 cases (88.5%) were diagnosed under 6 years old. 3) Clinical findings were... |
We have experienced a case of Potter syndrome recently. He was a newborn infant who suffered from severe respiratory distress soon after birth. His face was characterized by facies renalies and chest X-ray film revealed bilateral pneumothorax. Anuria since birth and findings of abdominal ultrasonography strongly suggested bilateral renal agenesis. Severe respiratory acidosis was progressed in spite of proper management and died at 11... |
Agenesis of the corpus callosum is a relatively common malformation that may occur in isolation or in combination with other cerebral malformation. We experienced a case of agenesis of the corpus callosum in a 5/12 year old boy who showed developmental retardation. Cerebral brian CT and sonography demonstrated a typical picture of agenesis of the corpus callosum without any further... |
