AGENESIS OF THE CORPUS CALLOSUM (ACC)
Is a congenital condition in which the corpus callosum, the bundle of nerve fibers that connects the two hemispheres of the brain, either partially or completely fails to develop during fetal development. The corpus callosum plays a crucial role in facilitating communication and information sharing between the two hemispheres of the brain.
CAUSES OF AGENESIS OF THE CORPUS CALLOSUM INCLUDE:
The exact cause of ACC is not always known, but it can result from a combination of genetic and environmental factorsSIGN AND
SYMPTOMS OF AGENESIS OF THE CORPUS CALLOSUM INCLUDE:
- Motor and Developmental Delays: Children with ACC might exhibit delays in motor skills, speech, and cognitive development.
- Seizures: Seizures or epilepsy are relatively common in individuals with ACC.
- Cognitive and Behavioral Challenges: ACC can lead to difficulties in processing and integrating information between the brain hemispheres, which might result in challenges related to problem-solving, social interactions, emotional processing, and attention.
- Visual and Spatial Issues: Some individuals with ACC may have problems with visual-spatial processing, making activities like reading maps, recognizing facial expressions, or coordinating movements more challenging.
- Communication Difficulties: Impaired communication between the brain hemispheres can affect language development and communication skills.
- Physical and Motor Symptoms: In more severe cases, there might be associated physical symptoms, such as abnormal head or facial features.
DIAGNOSIS:
Prenatal imaging, such as ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can often diagnose ACC during pregnancy or soon after birth.
