Colpocephaly: clinical, radiologic, and pathogenetic aspects. 1985

J Herskowitz, and N P Rosman, and C B Wheeler

Colpocephaly is an anatomic finding in the brain manifested by occipital horns that are disproportionately enlarged in comparison with other parts of the lateral ventricles. It has been considered to result from localized outpocketing of the ventricular cavity due to failure of thickening of overlying brain. Four new cases are presented here, including a child of near-normal development who appears to be the first reported case of colpocephaly with an associated chromosomal anomaly. Our patients support the view that colpocephaly is a disorder of diverse causation that can arise from a variety of degenerative or encephaloclastic insults to the developing brain.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008297 Male Males
D008607 Intellectual Disability Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range.
