Abstract:
What's already known about this topic? Fetal magnetic resonance imaging is a useful imaging technique for the diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) anomalies. Dysgenesis of the corpus callosum (CC) is associated with brain anomalies in 21 to 93% of cases, most commonly abnormal gyration, interhemispheric cysts, and posterior fossa abnormalities. CC agenesis is associated with non‐CNS anomalies in up to 65% of cases. What does this study add? Complete fetal CC agenesis has an increased risk to be associated to cortical dysplasia, seven times greater than partial CC agenesis and CC hypoplasia. In particular, the most frequent type of cortical dysplasia is polymicrogyria. Severe ventriculomegaly associated to CCD is a valuable predictor of associated anomalies.
