Abstract

A five week  old  newborne presented with recurrent abnormal movements . The child was borne of normal parents with non consangious marriage . There was no history of any ailment of mother during pregnancy and she was not on any drugs. The baby was borne by normal delivery and The CT Scan of the head showed Schizencephaly with Agenesis of Corpus Callosum with gyral malformation. There were no associated anomalies. Facial features were well developed and the muscle tone and power of the child was normal. The blood investigations were normal as was metabolic profile.
KEYWORDS: Callosum, Agenesis, Lateral Ventricle, Commissure, Forceps.
