Abstract

Two cases diagnosed as diencephalic cyst are reported. This disease is a congenital malformation of the central nervous system attended constantly by partial or total agenesia of the corpus callosum. The embryologic disturbances distinctive of this disease are pointed out and a clinicoradiological correlation is made. Therapeutic procedures are described.

X-linked recessive inheritance of dysgenesis of corpus callosum in a Chinese family.

This report describes a new syndrome of dysgenesis of corpus callosum with other anomalies, presenting as microcephaly, mental retardation, spasticity, and unusual facial appearance in 2 Chinese brothers and their maternal cousins. To date, there has not been any case reported in the Chinese population of this syndrome. All 4 patients in this report present with the same unusual face. Hydrocephalus and/or interhemispheric cyst were found among them. This syndrome is transmitted as an X-linked trait. The nosology is reviewed and discussed.

Hypoplasia of the corpus callosum and growth hormone deficiency in the XXXXY syndrome.

A 3-year-old Libyan boy with the XXXXY syndrome is described. MRI examination of the brain showed hypoplasia of the corpus callosum. He had growth retardation and endocrine studies demonstrated growth hormone (GH) deficiency. Dermatoglyphic pattern was different from previous reports. At histological examination of the undescended testes, Leydig cells were seen although they are usually not found in this variant of the Klinefelter syndrome.

Callosal agenesis, iris coloboma, and megacolon in a Brazilian boy with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome.

We report on a Brazilian boy with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) with callosal agenesis, iris coloboma, and megacolon. To our knowledge, callosal agenesis, iris coloboma, and megacolon are unusual signs within the clinical spectrum of RTS, and the present association is apparently underscribed.
