Abstract :

INTRODUCTION:- This quantitative MRI study done on 100 healthy adult individuals between 20-60 years of age reports measurement of different dimensions of corpus callosum and any changes in the dimensions with ageing. METHODS: MRI of corpus callosum of adult healthy individuals aged between 20-60 years were done and morphometric measurements of different parameters i.e. length, width, height and suegions of corpus callosum were noted and compared. RESULTS: In our study it was found that- 1. Thickness of splenium, thickness of posterior part of corpus callosum & shortest distance from posterior most point of corpus callosum to cortical surface (P-S) increased with age. 2. Length of corpus callosum, length of corpus callosum/length of ain increased upto 39 years and thereafter declined. 3. Height of corpus callosum, thickness of body at mid-point, maximum thickness of the body and minimum thickness started to decrease after 50 years. CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that ageing effects are more pronounced in genu and anterior part of corpus callosum.
