Abstract

Corpus callosum agenesis occurs when the commissural bers between the two hemispheres cannot complete their development for various reasons. Axons from cortical areas sensitive to auditory and auditory input are transmitted from the midline through the corpus callosum. It has been shown that congenital aplasia of the corpus callosum or damage at an early age leads to disorders in the understanding of stimuli that require dichotic listening and auditory interhemispheric transmission, auditory pattern perception of sound, auditory gure, ground perception, and localization of sound. In the studies on sound lateralization, it has been revealed that compensation may be possible in cases of agenesis with corpus callosum neural plasticity and compensation mechanism. This study aims to evaluate rehabilitation, especially the auditory therapy process, and to be a reference for further studies in these cases.
