SEXUAL DIMORPHISM IN CORPUS CALLOSUM

Kavita Nanda, Vishal Kalia

Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: The shape and size of corpus callosum varies according to gender, age and races. Therefore, morphometric measurements are necessary to calculate normative value for a comparative study. METHODS: The quantitative MRI study reports measurements of corpus callosum taken from mid-sagittal ain images in 50 men and 50 women. RESULTS: The mean length of corpus callosum in males was 7.27cm and females was 6.93cm. The mean height of corpus callosum in males was 2.56cm and in females was 2.31cm. Thickness of body at midpoint was 0.65cm in males and 0.60cm in females. CONCLUSIONS: The Length of corpus callosum (Lc), minimum thickness(Tmi), thickness of rostrum(Tr), thickness of splenium(Ts) were significantally greater in males. The distances genu to Fornix Length(G-F), Genu to Anterior Commissure Length(G-C), Shortest distance of anteriormost point of corpus callosum to cortical surface(A-S), Shortest distance of posterior most point of corpus callosum to cortical surface(P-S), Length of ain(LB), distance of occipital pole to posteriormost point of corpus callosum(O-P) were also significantally greater in males.
