Atypical splenial and visual cortex morphology in a child with a curvilinear lipoma and evidence of surface dyslexia. A. The T1-weighted image from an 11.31 year-old male with a lipoma (yellow) and with partial agenesis of the corpus callosum. The splenium is absent and there is resultant colpocephaly (dilatation of the occipital horns of the lateral ventricles). B. A Z-score image demonstrates where the lipoma case’s brain image required significant spatial warping to align with a study-specific template that was created from an age-matched comparison sample (red clusters: large structures that required compression; blue cluster: small structures that required expansion; threshold: Z > 3 and displayed on the MNI template. The Z-score image was created from the lipoma case’s Jacobian determinant image and the mean and SD of the Jacobian determinant images from the comparison sample).
