“…10 In some cases a partial agenesis of the CC is accompanied by enlargement of the anterior commissure or the hippocampal commissure that may mimic an isolated callosal splenium. 18 In conclusion, a very young patient with parathyroid adenoma and an incidental CC aplasia has been presented. 18 In conclusion, a very young patient with parathyroid adenoma and an incidental CC aplasia has been presented.…”

“…Mild neuronal loss related to neurofibrillary tangles has further been observed in the brainstem nuclei, and the corpus callosum has been found to have ultrastructural abnormalities and a decreased number of fibers [5,6]. Notably, a prior report showed that diffusion tensor imaging indicates decreased fractional anisotropy in the genu and body of the corpus callosum [5], the largest bundle of fibers that connects the cortical and subcortical regions of the brain [15]. Furthermore, the corpus callosum also interconnects both cerebral hemispheres, facilitating the functional integration of motor mechanisms [16].…”

Marchiafava-Bignami disease is a rare disorder characterized by demyelination and necrosis of the central nervous system. Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions. Herein, we present the case of a patient with Marchiafava-Bignami disease who developed acute oromandibular dystonia after receiving a very low dose of olanzapine. He was a 60-year-old Japanese man who was diagnosed with demyelinating lesions in the corpus callosum associated with Marchiafava-Bignami disease. At one point, he became agitated at night and was administered olanzapine 2.5 mg, resulting in the onset of oromandibular dystonia; however, the symptoms disappeared upon discontinuation of the drug. Primary dystonia is believed to arise solely from abnormal basal ganglia function in the absence of apparent morphological changes, according to the traditional view. However, recent studies suggest the involvement of lesions beyond the basal ganglia and organic factors, including ultrastructural changes. Rare side effects that develop following small doses of olanzapine indicate that demyelinating lesions of the corpus callosum may be partially responsible for oromandibular dystonia. This case report supports previous reports that the corpus callosum is involved in dystonia and provides insights into the pathophysiology underlying oromandibular dystonia.

Could Dystonia Be Initial Presentation of Corpus Callosum Infarction in Young Age Patients? A Case Report Study

Focal dystonia in young aged patients is considered to be the uncommon clinical presentation, unless a secondary cause is to be considered. Infarcts of the corpus callosum are rare and have not been well documented previously. As for a variety of signs and symptoms due to corpus callosum lesion, focal dystonia can be easily overlooked. The case is approved by ethical committee and explained to the patient with patient approval.
