Abstract EN
Purpose.
Mental retardation, mild to severe epilepsy and cerebral palsy often of hemiplegic type are common accompaniments in patients with agenesis/hypoplasia of the corpus callosum.
Skeletal deformities of bilateral radiohumeral synostosis, brachydactyly, bilateral elbow dislocation, talipes equinovarus, and juxtacalcaneal accessory bones have been encountered in two unrelated children with agenesis of the corpus callosum.
Methods.
We report on two unrelated children who presented with the full clinical criteria of agenesis of the corpus callosum.
Strikingly, both presented with variable upper and lower limb deformities.
The clinical features, radiographic and MRI findings in our current patients, have been compared with previously reported cases identified through a PubMed literature review.
Results.
Bilateral radiohumeral synostosis associated with pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency has been encountered in one patient.
The other patient manifested bilateral elbow dislocation, coxa valga, talipes equinovarus, and bilateral juxtacalcaneal accessory bones.
Conclusion.
The constellation of malformation complexes in our current patients have the hitherto not been reported and expanding the spectrum of skeletal deformities in connection with agenesis of the corpus callosum.
