Abstract

Callosal abnormalities are mostly described as central nervous system malformations and can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Herein, we report an autopsy case of a 50-year-old Syrian immigrant male with poor academic performance, presented with partial agenesis of the corpus callosum and colpocephaly. He was evidently asymptomatic until death.The causeof death was determined to be hypothermia. Autosy revealed a corous callosum of 3 cm only in the anterior part. Posteriorpart of the corpus callosum, anterior, posterior and hippocampal commissures were absent. On coronal sections, inferiorhorn of the lateral ventricle was dilated. Histopathological examination showed petechial microhemorrhagic areas and congestion in the brain. This case report was presented to demonstrate a good example of corpus callosum agenesis in asymptomatic individuals except for poor academic performance. Furthermore, this is the first corpus callosum agenesis in medicalliterature encountered during medicolegal autopsy in an adult case.
