The value of CT in the easy diagnosis of lipomas and associated anomalies of the corpus callosum, thus avoiding angiography and pneumoencephalography, is reported in five cases. An angiogram was performed in only one of the five cases and provided no additional diagnostic information.

Corpus callosum agenesis (CCA) was evaluated by ultrasound examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 14 cases. Ultrasonography was able to suspect CCA by indirect signs but a definitive diagnosis of CCA was achieved in only four cases. MRI was able to diagnose complete CCA in 13 cases and
Approximately 100 cases of lipoma of the corpus callosum have been reported since it was first described in 1856.l The characteristic findings of this congenital anomaly in skull radiographs and computerized tomography are well known. We describe the sonographic appearance of a lipoma of the corpus
It is well established in HNPP that seemingly unaffected individuals or patients with only focal symptoms can show widespread electrophysiological abnormalities that point to a diffuse subclinical polyneuropathy 12-51. It is not certain whether our patient's histopathological findings were inherited
The corpus callosum of a group of epileptic patients (N = 48) was compared to that of normal healthy volunteers (N = 14) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The mid-caliosal thickness was significantly greater in the sub-group of epileptic patients with generalized seizures. This provides some s
