Cytotoxic Lesion of the Corpus Callosum: A Case of Metabolic Disease in a New Mother

Abstract

Cytotoxic lesions of the corpus callosum (CLOCCs) represent an array of different conditions involving the corpus callosum. CLOCCs do not demonstrate definite signs or symptoms of hemispheric disconnection, such as alien hand syndrome, pseudo-neglect, apraxia of the left hand, agraphia, alexia, and visual apraxia. In fact, symptoms are generally related to the primary cause of the cytotoxic lesion, such as pharmaceutical agents, malignancies, infections, metabolic disorders, trauma, and others.
