Agenesis of the corpus callosum may occur as an isolated finding; most often, it is present in association with other cerebral malformations such as cortical heterotopias. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are methods of choice to detect these cerebral prenatal abnormalities, especially asymptomatic forms. We report the case of an asymptomatic young adult with complete callosal agenesis, cortical heterotopia and interhemispheric cyst, on CT and MR imaging.

Cerebral autosomal-dominant arteriopathy, subcortical infarcts, and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most prevalent monogenic inherited cause of cerebral small-vessel disease. Despite its prevalence, there is currently no proven therapy to prevent or reverse the progression of the disease. This study aimed to characterize the functional integrity of long white matter tracts in CADASIL transgenic mice, both with and without focal white matter lesions in the corpus callosum added on, utilizing optical resting-state functional connectivity imaging alongside behavioral examinations.

A 49-year-old female presented with the primary complaint of hand tremors. Neurological examination on admission revealed signs of cognitive impairment, bulbar palsy, dystonia, cerebellar ataxia, and pyramidal tract disease. T-weighted brain MRI revealed hyperintense signals in the subcortical white matter, basal ganglia, and cerebellar dentate nucleus, with no atrophy of the brainstem or corpus callosum.

Dysregulation of genes encoding the homologous to E6AP C-terminus (HECT) E3 ubiquitin ligases has been linked to cancer and structural birth defects. One member of this family, the HECT-domain-containing protein 1 (HECTD1), mediates developmental pathways, including cell signaling, gene expression, and embryogenesis. Through GeneMatcher, we identified 14 unrelated individuals with 15 different variants in HECTD1 (10 missense, 3 frameshift, 1 nonsense, and 1 splicing variant) with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and epilepsy.

Riga-Fede disease (RFD) is a rare, benign condition marked by traumatic ulceration on the tongue's ventral side in infants. It arises from friction between the tongue and lower incisors during sucking, potentially worsening into a keratinized lesion if the cause is not addressed. This report details the case of a 1-year-6-month-old male with hydrocephalus, cleft palate, corpus callosum dysgenesis, neuropsychomotor developmental delay, and tracheostomy and gastrostomy needs.

Gliomas are highly heterogeneous and often include a nonenhancing component that is hyperintense on T weighted MRI. This can often not be distinguished from secondary gliosis and surrounding edema. We hypothesized that the extent of these T hyperintense areas can more accurately be determined on high-quality 7 T MRI scans.
