SPG15 is the second most common cause of hereditary spastic paraplegia with thin corpus callosum.

4 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are very heterogeneous inherited neurodegenerative disorders. Our group recently identified ZFYVE26 as the gene responsible for one of the clinical and genetic entities, SPG15. Our aim was to describe ... Read more...

Bimanual motor coordination in agenesis of the corpus callosum.

29 Sep 2009 The nature and extent of deficiencies in bimanual motor coordination in individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) was studied using the computerized Bimanual Coordination Test (cBCT). Compared with previous bimanual tasks, the cBCT is ... Read more...

A 58 year old woman with a corpus callosum nodule at autopsy.

29 Sep 2009 Intracranial lipomas are uncommon benign mesenchymal tumors, found usually near or at the midline. The existence of such intracranial tumors has been documented in the literature in only over 200 cases. Although usually asymptomatic, they can ... Read more...
