In more than half of fetuses with complete callosal agenesis, the hippocampal commissure may be visualized at prenatal ultrasound. This is a residual interhemispheric connection, which in normal cases is hidden by the corpus callosum itself. Further research is needed to establish if this has an impact on postnatal outcome.
