Agenesie van het corpus callosum bij pasgeborenen vastgesteld met behulp van echografie via de fontanel

– Agenesis of the corpus callosum can be accurately diagnosed on sonography via the anterior fontanelle. Nine of 600 consecutive infants, in whom sonography was performed, had agenesis of the corpus callosum; an incidence of 15 per 1000. So far, incidences of agenesis of the corpus callosum reported have been much lower. In the discussion a summary is given of the anomalies commonly associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum. Based on those anomalies a proposal is presented for further examinations and follow up in infants in whom agenesis of the corpus callosum is diagnosed.
