The purpose of this case study is to describe the case of a person with agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC), intellectual disability and features of antisocial behaviour and lying.
A 26-year-old woman with a mild intellectual disability who presented with antisocial behaviour and chronic lying was found to have ACC and associated cerebral abnormalities.
Psychiatric, radiological and neuropsychological assessment of this patient provided convergent evidence of the importance of the corpus callosum in enabling understanding of social situations and appropriate social behaviour, particularly via its connectivity with the frontal regions of the brain.
Antisocial behaviour and lying may be more commonly associated with callosal dysgenesis than is currently realised.
本病例研究旨在描述一名患有胼胝体发育不全(ACC)、智力残疾以及反社会行为和说谎特征的患者情况。
一名患有轻度智力残疾且表现出反社会行为和长期说谎的26岁女性被发现患有ACC及相关脑部异常。
对该患者的精神、放射学和神经心理学评估提供了趋同证据,证明胼胝体在促进对社会情境的理解和适当的社会行为方面的重要性,特别是通过其与大脑额叶区域的连接。
反社会行为和说谎可能比目前所认识到的更常与胼胝体发育不全相关。
