Abstract

This article focuses on a critical evaluation of a 20-year retrospective study on agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC), highlighting its clinical and genetic heterogeneity. It emphasizes that ACC disrupts interhemispheric information integration, often leading to deficits overlapping with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but notes the original study lacked systematic neurodevelopmental assessments for social-emotional delays and ASD screening. The critique underscores that classifying ACC as isolated versus complex is a stronger prognostic indicator than anatomical completeness, with complex ACC linked to higher genetic risks and poorer neurodevelopmental outcomes. Additionally, the article calls for future research to incorporate long-term follow-up, early intervention, and rehabilitation data to better inform prognosis and management strategies.
