What are the symptoms of a missing corpus callosum?

The signs and symptoms of ACC vary. It depends on how much of the corpus callosum is missing and the presence of any other associated disorders.

The signs often show up during the first two years of life, but mild cases are sometimes not noticed for many years.

Symptoms might include:

  • Epileptic seizures.
  • Developmental delays (for example, holding up the head, sitting, standing, walking).
  • Feeding problems.
  • Headaches.
  • Hearing or vision impairment.
  • Hydrocephalus.
  • Problems with hand-eye coordination or between the right and left sides of the body.
  • Problems with social interactions.
  • Repetitive speech.
  • Spasticity.

Some people with ACC can also have physical signs of the disorder:

  • Abnormally shaped nose or ears.
  • Bent fingers.
  • Deep-set or wide-set eyes.
  • Lack of muscle tone.
  • Larger forehead.
  • Skin tags.
  • Unusually small or large head.
