Agenesis of the corpus callosum

What is the path of the cerebrospinal fluid from its formation site? Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear, colorless fluid that acts as a cushion to protect and support the brain inside of the skull, while also playing an essential role in the removal of waste products from the brain. It can be found surrounding both the brain and spinal cord. I was motivated to do research on the path that the cerebrospinal fluid takes from its formation site because of its importance in protecting the brain.  Cerebrospinal

To: [Name] Thank you for referring [Name], 2 and 7/12-year-old ambidextrous male for evaluation of "developmental delays." Please allow me to review the history for my records. [Name] is accompanied by his mother and physical therapist today. The patient has had global developmental delays since shortly after birth. He was 1st formally evaluated in July 2006, when he was not to sitting, talking, or standing. This developmental evaluation has recently been repeated. This showed essentially developmental

Split-brain syndrome, also referred as callosal disconnection syndrome will be a condition that is distinguish by a bunch of neurological abnormalities that emerge from either a partial or a complete lesioning or severing the corpus callosum, which is basically the cluster of nerves that connect the left and right hemispheres of the brain. It is still not fully understood whether or not the action of certain tasks is actually dependant on both of the brain hemispheres, because they both appear to

The Corpus Callosum(CC) is a band of nerve fibers located in the cerebral cortex. Dividing the cortex, the corpus callosum acts as a way of communication between the light and right hemispheres. The CC is one of the largest structures of white matter in the brain and contains over 200 million axons. These axons send out electrical impulses from the neurons cell body. The neurons in the CC is also insulated by myelin sheath, which facilitates the transmission of information at a quicker pace. The

findings can have significant delay. We discussed longterm consequences of both agenesis as well as Dandy-Walker given the findings on the ultrasound. We discussed their wishes in terms of continuation of pregnancy and to give us more information I opted to order a fetal MRI. This would likely be able to help us to determine the findings in the third and fourth ventricles and possibly even agenesis of the corpus callosum. We discussed the possibility of invasive testing with amniocentesis but they

spontaneous genetic mutation that affects the X chromosome, meaning that it is almost exclusively seen in girls (“Aicardi syndrome - NORD (national organization for rare disorders),” n.d.). The three main characteristics of Aicardi Syndrome are agenesis of the corpus callosum, chorioretinal lacunae (holes in the retina), and seizures (“Aicardi syndrome - NORD (national organization for rare disorders),” n.d.). Signs and symptoms include muscle spasms, epilepsy, intellectual disability, hypotonia, microcephaly

Jacobsen disorder: An extremely uncommon chromosomal issue including the nonattendance of a bit of chromosome 11q.acobsen disorder is caused by an erasure of hereditary material toward the finish of the long (q) arm of chromosome 11. The extent of the cancellation shifts among influenced individuals, yet the erased region quite often incorporates the tip of chromosome 11. The particular highlights of Jacobsen disorder identify with the loss of different qualities inside the erased locale. While the

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder “Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is an umbrella term describing the range of effects that can occur in an individual whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. These effects may include physical, mental, behavioral, and/or learning disabilities with possible lifelong implications” (HHS, 2005). FASD refers to conditions such as: fetal alcohol syndrome including partial FAS, fetal alcohol effects (FAE), alcohol related neurodevelopment disorder, alcohol-related

of FG Syndrome ABSTRACT: Mutations in the MED12 gene are associated with X-linked intellectual disability (ID) which present phenotypically as FG syndrome or Lujan syndrome. The two disorders have overlapping features of ID, hypotonia, and corpus callosum abnormalities but physical features differ . Carrier females are typically unaffected. Mitochondrial dysfunction has not been previously described. Herein, we report a 7 year old male with features of FG syndrome, hypogammoglobulinemia, mitochondrial

The nervous system is responsible for a variety of tasks that are vital to everyday living, these tasks range from maintaining the bodies’ daily functions to reacting to emergency situations. There are three general functions that the nervous system carries out: motor function, sensory function, and interpretative function. The motor function consists of nerves relaying information from the central nervous to the glands and muscles of the body. Sensory nerves gather information from both inside the
