ACC is incidental made in the course of an evaluation for other reasons There may well be many asymptomatic individuals with partial or complete agenesis who never come to medical attention Diagram of the human brain and others with the corpus callosum indicated Illustration by Electronic Illustrators Group Diagnosis of ACC relies on imaging studies such as ultrasound
