This comprehensive overview of agenesis of the corpus callosum, including two case presentations, discusses not only the ultrasonic appearance and diagnosis of this congenital malformation, but the function, location, pathogenesis, etiology, clinical picture, and other modes of diagnosis. This is especially important for the ultrasonographer who is responsible for recognizing the sonographic manifestations of the various neurologic anomalies that can be demonstrated.
