先天性胼胝體缺損:病例報告及文獻回顧
Abstract
The main function of corpus callosum is to connect bilateral hemispheres. Patients with mech-anical injuries to corpus callosum, e,g., tumor compression, anterior or posterior cerebral artery infarction may have in neurological defects including left apraxia, left alexia or anomia to colors. Nevertheless, these symptoms may not occur in congenital corpus callosum agenesis, complete or incomplete. Congenital corpus callosum agenesis frequently coexists with other deficits, such as mental retardation, spastic quadriplegia or spastic diplegia, and seizure. We report a case with corpus callosum agenesis, spastic right hemiplegia, mild bilateral eyelid ptosis and hyperoptic astigmatism. Literatures were reviewed. In early development of embryo, deficit of neural tube often result in various types of congenital syndromes. Since there is considerable functional plasticity of brain during neural maturation, early detection, rehabilitation and special education programs are very important for the functional outcome in patients with congenital corpus callosum agenesis. Our case represented a good example.
