Abstract
Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is a common finding during neuroson ography of preterm infants. Secondary thinning of the corpus callosum is seen following PVL, typically from loss of hemispheric white matter tracts. We report a case of direct involvement of the corpus callosum with PVL, its pathogenesis, and its potential as a cause of corpus ca llosal thinning.
