Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Morphometric Alterations of Corpus Callosum in Stroke Patients.

Background: Corpus callosum plays a role in interhemispheric integration, language, intelligence, and creativity of individuals, hence variations in corpus callosum size are seen in various neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's and bipolar affective disorder. While the dimensions differ based on gender, age, and ethnicity, pathological variations are seen with some diseases such as vascular dementia, leukoaraiosis, stroke, and carotid artery stenosis. This study was conducted to compare the morphometric alterations of the corpus callosum between normal subjects and stroke patients using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
