Abstract:

Agenesis of corpus callosum (ACC) is a common developmental anomaly of the brain. Often, the diagnosis is delayed due to misinterpretation of the radiological appearances. We here present a case of ACC with typical radiological signs. These radiological signs can be diagnosed very easily and will help to signpost the child to proper care at an early age.
