title: Prenatal echographic diagnosis of corpus callosum agenesis. The Nancy experience 1982-1989.
abstract: In this report we present the Nancy experience on the prenatal echographic diagnosis of corpus callosum agenesis in a consecutive series of 17 patients. The pitfalls and difficulties in the prenatal echographic diagnosis of ACC is emphasized. They are related with the particular development of the corpus callosum and the limitations of diagnostic procedures. Moreover, the variability of corpus callosum anomalies is illustrated, and the difficulties in establishing long term prognosis in the individual patient documented.
