Abstract：Objective To discuss the clinical symptoms, imaging manifestations and prognosis in the patients with corpus callosum infarction. Methods The patients (n=11) were chosen and their clinical symptoms, manifestations of head CT and MRI and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical characteristics of corpus callosum infarction were summed up. Results The percentage of patients with local focus limited in corpus callosum counted for 27.3%, and that of those with diffuse focus, 72.7%. The clinical symptoms included aphasia, loss of muscle tone, mental retardation, aconuresis, sensory disturbance, disturbance of consciousness, ataxia and affective disorder. Besides of corpus callosum, basal ganglia, frontal lobe, parietal lobe and temporal lobe were commonly involved. After followed up for one year, there were 10 patients (90.9%) cured or relieved, and one case (9.1%) deteriorated. Conclusion The clinical symptoms are complicated in patients with corpus callosum infarction, and head MRI is important to the diagnosis of corpus callosum infarction. The prognosis will be good after active treatment.
