Question 1

what does a left renal agenesis mean?

Accepted Answer

Absent left kidney: Means that the left kidney failed to develop, so there is only a right kidney present. Most people can lead a perfectly normal life with one kidney. They should avoid excess protein in their diet and minimize salt intake (good advice for everyone).

Question 2

in what way is a renal agenesis diagnosed?

Accepted Answer

Often by accident: The availability of ultrasound has increased the likelihood that an abdominal study done for an unrelated issue will pick up renal agenesis or other malformation. I suggest the study for first degree relatives of a person with such renal defects as their risk increases to 1/50 from the 1/500 of the general population.It might also be found when evaluating a kidney issue, like recurrent uti's.

Question 3

what is the prognosis if agenesis of corpus collosum?

Accepted Answer

Prognosis: Counseling for agenesis of the corpus collosum is difficult. Imaging cannot predict how the fetus will develop and function. About 10% of the adult population has agenesis of the corpus collosum and function normally.  The prognosis for partial agenesis of the corpus collosum is worse and is associated with function impairment.

Question 4

how can i treat partial agenesis of corpus callosumi mmediately?

Accepted Answer

Not treatable: This would not be a treatable condition.

Question 5

im a 40-year old woman who was diagnosed 5years ago of having vaginal agenesis. how common is this disorder? i feel completely alone

Accepted Answer

Common enough: This problem is common enough that there are gyn md's who specialize in surgically 'creating a new vagina' which can be considered in your case. Contact a major university ob-gyn residency program in your state of residence.

Question 6

what causes agenesis of the corpus callosum?

Accepted Answer

Congenital: abnormality. Born with it.  Callosal malformations are among the most common congenital brain anomalies and are associated with a wide range of neuropsychological deficits

Question 7

do a lot of people have agenesis of the corpus callosum?

Accepted Answer

Rare: It is very rare for individuals to be born with either agenesis or partial agenesis of the corpus callosum.  It can also be associated with other genetic syndromes.

Question 8

what can you tell me about agenesis of the corpus callosum?

Accepted Answer

Rare, variable six.: I would refer you to the ACC page on: www.rarediseases.org, the website of NORD, the National Organization for Rare Disorders. A very helpful &amp; informative site. BTW, I have a great niece with ACC, aged 6yrs, and she has NO developmental delays so far! Good luck and my best wishes!

Question 9

what would a child be like with agenesis of the corpus callosum?

Accepted Answer

Mid-line defect: Agenesis of the corpus callosum may be associated with other brain abnormalities.  How a child would be with agenesis of the corpus callosum depends on the extent of other associated findings. Optic nerve hypoplasia, pituitary abnormalities, developmental delays, and other neurological problems are associated with this. Please see http://www.Ninds.Nih.Gov/disorders/agenesis/agenesis.Htm.

Question 10

are there symptoms or health problems when you have agenesis of the sphenoid sinus?

Accepted Answer

It is so rare: I think it would be difficult to say. My guess is that you were having a CT scan or MRI for some facial or sinus symptoms and this was incidentally reported. It would have been present your whole life...it is the result of lack of development in the embryo/fetus. Reportedly it occurs in only 0.026% of people..too few to study. The presence of this shouldn't impact your evaluation or treatment.
