[Corpus callosum. Landmark of the origin of cerebral diseases].
Diseases of the corpus callosum include developmental disorders, immunomodulated CNS diseases, vascular malformations, disturbances of metabolism including the electrolyte homeostasis, secondary degenerations and mechanical injuries. This report provides information on the differential diagnosis of reversible and irreversible pathological changes of the corpus callosum with special focus on the localization, which often allows conclusions on the pathogenesis to be drawn.
