Agenesis of corpus callosum (ACC) is a rare birth defect in which the corpus callosum, the band of nerve fibers connecting the two hemispheres of the brain, is either partially or completely absent. This condition can cause a variety of physical and cognitive impairments, including intellectual disability, seizures, and movement disorders. ACC is usually diagnosed during infancy or early childhood. Treatment typically involves a combination of medications, physical therapy, and other therapies to help manage symptoms.

The most common symptoms of agenesis of corpus callosum (ACC) include:

-Delayed development of motor skills
-Delayed speech and language development
-Seizures
-Intellectual disability
-Poor coordination
-Abnormal eye movements
-Abnormal facial features
-Abnormalities in the structure of the brain
-Difficulty with social interactions
-Difficulty with problem solving and abstract thinking
-Difficulty with memory and learning

The exact cause of agenesis of corpus callosum (ACC) is unknown. However, it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Possible causes include genetic mutations, chromosomal abnormalities, and exposure to certain toxins or infections during pregnancy.

1. Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help improve coordination, balance, and strength.

2. Occupational therapy: Occupational therapy can help with activities of daily living, such as dressing, eating, and writing.

3. Speech therapy: Speech therapy can help with communication and language development.

4. Medication: Medications can help with seizures, anxiety, and other symptoms.

5. Surgery: Surgery may be recommended to help with certain physical issues, such as hydrocephalus.

6. Counseling: Counseling can help with emotional and social issues.

1. Genetic mutations: Mutations in certain genes, such as the gene for the protein NDE1, can cause ACC.

2. Chromosomal abnormalities: Abnormalities in the structure or number of chromosomes can lead to ACC.

3. Maternal infections: Infections during pregnancy, such as rubella, can increase the risk of ACC.

4. Maternal alcohol or drug use: Alcohol and drug use during pregnancy can increase the risk of ACC.

5. Maternal diabetes: Women with diabetes during pregnancy have an increased risk of having a baby with ACC.

6. Maternal age: Women over the age of 35 have an increased risk of having a baby with ACC.

There is no cure for agenesis of corpus callosum (ACC). Treatment focuses on managing the symptoms and helping the person to live as independently as possible. Medications may be prescribed to help with seizures, muscle spasms, and other symptoms. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy may also be recommended to help with motor skills, communication, and other areas of development.
