The corpus callosum (CC) is the largest commissure connecting the cerebral hemispheres. Its components are recognized sonographically at 18-20 GW and from that point forward, its growth can be assessed using nomograms for CC length and thickness according to gestational week. Prenatal diagnosis of agenesis of the CC has been reported comprehensively. On the contrary, information regarding findings as short or thick CC is very rare. Is short CC an expression of callosal dysgenesis or could it be a variant of the normal development when all its parts exist? We discuss this issue through this case report.
胼胝体(CC)是连接大脑半球的最大连合。在 18-20 孕周时可以通过超声识别其组成部分,此后可以根据 CC 长度和厚度的生长图表评估其生长情况。CC 发育不全的产前诊断已有详细报道。相反,关于 CC 短或厚的发现信息非常罕见。CC 短是胼胝体发育不良的表现,还是所有部分存在时正常发育的一种变异?我们通过这个病例报告来讨论这个问题。
