Abstract

Prakash Ambady, Swamy Venkatesh Y and Ambika Rao

Ischemic lesions involving the Corpus Callosum (CC) are rare. Symptoms are nonspecific and clinical findings vary depending on the site and size of the lesions. We describe a rare case of watershed infarct involving the whole corpus callosum but sparing the more common border-zone infarcts between the anterior cerebral artery–middle cerebral artery and the middle cerebral artery posterior cerebral artery and review the relevant literature with special emphasis on the vascular anatomy of the corpus callosum.
