[Agenesis of the corpus callosum: etiological and clinical aspects, diagnostic methods and prognosis].
Agenesis of the corpus callosum is a frequent congenital malformation with many etiologies and clinical features. It can occur as an isolated defect which is usually sporadic, it is frequently associated with other malformations, genetic syndromes and metabolic disorders. Ante- or postnatal diagnosis must be followed by a careful search for etiology, and it raises uncertain and difficult question with regard to pregnancy continuation and infant development.
