Prognosis of Agenesis of the corpus callosum

About prognosis: The 'prognosis' of Agenesis of the corpus callosum usually refers to the likely outcome of Agenesis of the corpus callosum. The prognosis of Agenesis of the corpus callosum may include the duration of Agenesis of the corpus callosum, chances of complications of Agenesis of the corpus callosum, probable outcomes, prospects for recovery, recovery period for Agenesis of the corpus callosum, survival rates, death rates, and other outcome possibilities in the overall prognosis of Agenesis of the corpus callosum. Naturally, such forecast issues are by their nature unpredictable.

Prognosis for Agenesis of the corpus callosum: ACC does not cause death in the majority of patients. Although many children with the disorder will lead normal lives and have average intelligence, careful neuropsychological testing reveals subtle differences in higher cortical function compared to individuals of the same age and education without ACC. Children with ACC accompanied by developmental delay and/or seizure disorders should be screened for metabolic disorders. Mental retardation is nonprogressive. ¹
