Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate fetal corpus callosum and associated malformations with MRI. Methods: Totally 81 fetuses with MRI diagnosed corpus callosum agenesis were collected, and the types and of corpus callosum agenesis and other brain malformations were analyzed. Results: Among 81 fetuses, simple absence of corpus callosum were diagnosed in 47 fetuses, while complicated malformations were detected in 34 fetuses, including 12 with arachnoid cyst, 7 with Dandy-Walker syndrome, 5 with cerebellar hypoplasia, 5 with neuronal migration disorder,4 with cisterna magna, 4 with subependymal cyst, 2 with parenchymal hemorrhage, 1 with schizencephaly, 1 with porencephaly and 1 with meningocele. Conclusion: MRI can display fetal corpus callosum and associated brain malformations, which is able to provide information for evaluation on prognosis.
