L1 syndrome is a group of mild to severe X-linked recessive disorders that share a common genetic basis. The spectrum of L1 syndrome disorders includes X-linked complicated corpus callosum dysgenesis, spastic paraplegia 1, MASA syndrome, and X-linked hydrocephalus with stenosis of the aqueduct of Sylvius (HSAS).
The males (all infants) had partial corpus callosum agenesis, severe intellectual disabilities, developmental delays, and epilepsy. The disorder first manifested right after birth, with recurrent seizures occurring hours after it. Out of these 5 babies, 3 had died. Post-mortem examination of one of the dead infants revealed chemical and ...
Acrocallosal syndrome (also known as ACLS) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by corpus callosum agenesis, polydactyly, multiple dysmorphic features, motor and intellectual disabilities, and other symptoms. [3] The syndrome was first described by Albert Schinzel in 1979. [4]
If a Susac patient has 10 lesions, more than half will be in the corpus callosum. A concern about this illness is that it mimics multiple sclerosis when looking at the vision loss and brain lesions. If close attention is not paid to the retina of a patient with vision loss and brain lesions, their symptoms may be mistaken for MS instead of ...
Dejerine in 1892 described specific symptoms resulting from a lesion to the corpus callosum that caused alexia without agraphia. The patient had a lesion in the left occipital lobe, blocking sight in the right visual field , and in the splenium of the corpus callosum. Dejerine interpreted this case as a disconnection of the speech area in the ...
Split-brain or callosal syndrome is a type of disconnection syndrome when the corpus callosum connecting the two hemispheres of the brain is severed to some degree. It is an association of symptoms produced by disruption of, or interference with, the connection between the hemispheres of the brain.
Some patients do not show most of the symptoms related to colpocephaly, such as psychomotor abnormalities and agenesis of the corpus callosum. In some cases, signs appear later on in life and a significant number of children only develop minor disabilities. The following list includes common symptoms of colpocephaly. [3] [4] [5]
Andermann syndrome, also known as agenesis of corpus callosum with neuronopathy (ACCPN), Charlevoix disease and KCC3 axonopathy among other names, [1] is a very rare neurodegenerative genetic disorder that damages the nerves used to control muscles and related to sensation and is often associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum.
