Associations

• agenesis of the corpus callosum: strong association

Considerations include:

• midline fetal arachnoid cyst: no associated agenesis of the corpus callosum
• cyst-like lesions related to physiologic median structures
  • enlargement of the cavum septi pellucidi
  • enlargement of the cavum vergae
