Coalescence of the cerebral ventricles with formation of a single forebrain ventricle is described in an unusual case of agenesis of the corpus callosum with dehiscent fornices and severe hydrocephalus. The cerebral hemispheres were fully cleaved. The detached fornices were widely separated from the thalami. The membrana tectoria was retroverted over the midbrain and cerebellum, where it joined the fornices and merged with a curved membranous ependymal dome which, at a great distance, circumvented the thalami as it extended toward the anterior commissure. Other anomalies included arhinencephaly, multiple subependymal heterotopias, and Dandy-Walker malformation. Similar malformations have been described as interhemispheric cysts, as (holo)prosencephaly, or as "midline telencephalic dysgenesis." The basic features of prosencephaly and agenesis of the corpus callosum are reviewed and compared to the present case.
