Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common clinical and neurobehavioral disorder that has a serious impact on the patient and his/her loved ones. Structural deformities associated with ADHD have been described, of which the corpus callosum is one of the most parts studied.
Deformities involving the splenium of corpus callosum have a robust association with ADHD. In this manuscript, we present a case of degeneration of a hypoplastic splenium of corpus callosum in an ADHD patient detected on MRI 2 years after initial detection of hypoplasia of corpus callosum.
To our knowledge, and after searching the published scientific data, this case may be the first case to report degeneration of a hypoplastic splenium of corpus callosum in an ADHD patient. It highlights a few important points: sample age matching in studies focusing on neuroanatomy of ADHD, it provides possible evidence that neuroanatomy can change with time in ADHD, and its association to worsening ADHD symptoms.
