Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Colpocephaly, a midline anomaly, may be associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum. While prenatal diagnosis is possible, this malformation is rarely detected in adults and may be asymptomatic. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 54-year-old male with Colpocephaly and dysgenesis of the corpus callosum, incidentally diagnosed during an emergency department visit. Computed tomography imaging revealed bilateral dilation of the posterior horns of the lateral ventricles and the absence of the corpus callosum. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Although some adults with Colpocephaly may show clinical symptoms, this anomaly can often be an incidental finding in asymptomatic individuals. Medical imaging plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis of this anomaly. Prenatal ultrasound can also detect midline anomalies, including Colpocephaly. CONCLUSION: Awareness of this anomaly can prevent unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
