Abstract :
Background: The agenesis of corpus callosum (ACC) is referred to a complete or partial defect in the
formation of corpus callosum which is a commissure between brain hemispheres. It is a rare disease that
can produce a wide range of syndromes and symptoms.
Case Presentations: we present a case of newborn baby Iranian girl who had agenesis of corpus
callosum. Severe atrophy of brain and Intraventricular hemorrhage in the preterm neonate was reported.
Dilation of lateral ventricles and third ventricle, as well as moderate hydrocephaly and subdural effusion,
were recorded in medical ultrasound studies. The brain CT scan also indicated Intraventricular
hemorrhage (grade IV) and severe brain atrophy.
