AB KEY  POINTSAgenesis  of  the  corpus  callosum  is  either  complete  or  limited  to  the  posterior  portion;  the  anatomy  is  variable  but  in  the  complete  form  the  cavum  septum  pellucidi  is  not  present;  in  the  partial  form,  findings  are  more  subtle  and  diagnosis  requires  direct  visualization  of  the  incomplete  corpus  callosum.  The  prognosis  is  largely  influenced  by  the  association  with  other  anomalies;  isolated  agenesis  of  the  corpus  callosum  may  be  associated  with  a  normal  intellectual  development,  although  the  experience  is  limited.Agenesis  of  the  septum  pellucidum  is  frequently  a  part  of  other  often  severe  malformations  including  holoprosencephaly,  gross  hydrocephalus,  and  schizencephaly.  Isolated  agenesis  of  the  septum  pellucidum  may  be  a  normal  variant,  although  it  may  be  the  only  antenatal  finding  of  septo-optic  dysplasia,  a  condition  that  is  usually  associated  with  visual  impairment  and  endocrine  dysfunction.
