AGENESIS OF CORPUS-CALLOSUM AND DEMENTIA OF THE ALZHEIMERS TYPE - A REVIEW AND CASE-REPORT

This paper describes a previously sufficiently functioning 57 year old man who presented with a recent onset of frontal behaviour. Partial a genesis of corpus callosum was an incidental finding on a computerized tomography scan. The EEG was within normal limits and neuropsychologi cal testing did not reveal any interhemispheric disconnection. A SPECT -Scan revealed bilateral hypoperfusion, consistent with Alzheimer's de mentia. Normal functioning up to 50 years of age and a later manifesta tion of Alzheimer's disease along with agenesis of carpus callosum is of clinical interest as such as association has not been published.
