Balkenagenesie – Kognitive und neuropsychiatrische Symptome im Kindes- und Jugendalter

Ein Fallbericht

Published Online:May 11, 2011https://doi.org/10.1024/1422-4917/a000107

Abstract

Die Agenesie des corpus callosum ist mit einer Vielzahl neuropsychiatrischer Symptome und Entwicklungsauffälligkeiten assoziiert. Das cranielle MRT sichert die Diagnose. Wir berichten hier über einen 13jährigen Jungen mit globaler Entwicklungsverzögerung, leichter Intelligenzminderung, neurologischen und psychiatrischen Symptomen bei schulischer Überforderung, nicht aber ADHS-Symptomen. Die Agenesie des corpus callosum ist eine relativ seltene, aber möglicherweise unterschätzte Differenzialdiagnose bei unklaren Entwicklungsverzögerungen im Kindes- und Jugendalter bzw. Verdacht auf ADHS.


Agenesis of the corpus callosum: Cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms in children and adolescents – a case report

Agenesis of the corpus callosum is associated with a wide range of neuropsychiatric symptoms. Cranial MRI confirms the diagnosis. We report a case of a 13-year-old boy with global developmental delay, mental retardation as well as neurological and psychiatric symptoms but without symptoms of ADHD who is unable to cope with school demands. Agenesis of the corpus callosum is a relatively rare, but possibly underestimated differential diagnosis of unclear retardations in development in children or suspicion of ADHD respectively.
