Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the electrophysiological findingsof patients with agenesis of corpus callosum.Material and Methods: Children with agenesis ofcorpus callosum were included in the study. All patients were evaluated withelectrophysiological studies and resultswere compared with age and sex matched healthy control group.Results: A total of 11 patients withtotal agenesis of corpus callosum were enrolled in the study. The mean age ofthe patients was 2.99±2.06 years (range, 0.8 ±7.0 years). There were not asignificant differences between the patients and control group according to thevalsalva ratio, RRIV during deep breathing, SSR latency (hand), SSR amplitude(hand), SSR latency (foot), SSR amplitude (foot) and 30/15 ratio.Conclusion: although clinical orsubclinical autonomic dysfunctions appears to be more prevalent in somesyndromic patients with agenesis of CC, we did not detect any significantdifferences in patients with agenesis of CC and healthy control group.
