Abstract

This study is the result of pathologic and clinical analyses of thirty-eight cases of tumor that involved the corpus callosum to some degree. These cases were included in a series of three hundred and fourteen cases of microscopically verified tumor of the frontal lobe which have previously been reported (Voris, Kernohan and Adson¹and Voris, Moersch and Adson²). We thought it worth while to make a separate report of the results of study of this group of cases because of the opportunity thus afforded for comparing the findings with those previously reported for the larger series. According to Ironside and Guttmacher,³the earliest verified cases of tumor of the corpus callosum on record are those described by Plater in 1614 and by Wepfer in 1675. Gradually a large number of reports of such cases have appeared in the literature, together with some complete studies of the anatomy,
