[Agenesis of the corpus callosum]. 1980

V G Antonenko, and O P Robak

Clinical follow-up of 9 patients with agenesis of the corpus callosum is analysed. It is established that the pleomorphism of the clinical manifestations in agenesis of the corpus callosum is determined by the concomitant cerebral lesions. Pneumoencephalography should be considered the method of choice in the diagnosis of agenesis of the corpus callosum because it demonstrates the changes in the ventricular system characteristic of this anomaly and the changes in the cerebrospinal fluid channels attendant to it. A decrease in the distance between the inferior sagittal sinus and the internal cerebral vein and in the distance between the pericallosum artery and the internal cerebral vein are pathognomonic angiographic signs. No pathognomonic changes in the bioelectric activity of the brain in agenesis of the corpus callosum were detected.

D004827 Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).
