Abstract

Agenesis of the corpus callosum is a severe congenital abnormality of brain development characterized by the complete or partial absence of the corpus callosum. We are presenting here a phenotypic variety of isolated agenesis of the corpus callosum and bilateral ventriculomegaly, successfully diagnosed prenatally by ultrasound examination at 22 weeks of pregnancy, caused by a disorder of embryogenesis of a non-genetic nature, highlight the crucial role of prenatal sonography in the early detection and specialized management of severe congenital malformations.

Keywords: Agenesis of the corpus callosum, ventriculomegaly, ultrasound examination, prenatal diagnosis.
