Abstract EN
Psychiatric symptoms may occasionally be related to anatomic alterations of brain structures.
Particularly, corpus callosum lesions seem to play a role in the change of patients’ behavior.
We present a case of a sudden psychotic attack presumably due to a hemorrhagic cavernous angioma of the corpus callosum, which was surgically removed with complete resolution of symptoms.
Although a developmental defect like agenesis or lipoma is present in the majority of these cases, a growing lesion of the corpus callosum can rarely be the primary cause.
Since it is potentially possible to cure these patients, clinicians should be aware of this association.
