| Agenesis of the corpus callosum | Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum (ACC) is a rare birth defect (Congenital disorder) in humans in which there is a complete or partial absence of the Corpus callosum. It can appear in both males and females, though in females agenesis may be caused by Aicardi syndrome, a condition identified by the French neurologist Dr Jean Aicardi in 1965. Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum is not progressive and could cause death in only the most serious of cases. (references) | ||
