Prenatal evaluation, diagnosis and management of fetal corpus callosal abnormalities: international Delphi consensus.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The corpus callosum (CC) is an interhemispheric structure that facilitates communication between the two cerebral hemispheres. Anomalies of the CC are frequent and associated with a wide spectrum of altered neurodevelopmental outcomes.
