title: Antenatal sonographic findings of agenesis of corpus callosum.
abstract: Agenesis of the corpus callosum is a central nervous system anomaly that may be associated with other intracranial abnormalities. It is easily diagnosed in the postnatal period by computed tomographic scan and ultrasound. However, its prenatal sonographic diagnosis remains a challenge. This report will evaluate three cases of fetal agenesis of the corpus callosum, review the antenatal sonographic findings and postnatal outcomes, and provide criteria for the antenatal diagnosis.
