Wendy, it is not tore, it is half the width it should be. I was diagnosed three years ago, but going by medical records the earliest documented one was at 8, 24 years ago. My records are not available prior to that and my mom does not remember.

Melisssa,
There are a lot of syndromes that involve the corpus collosum and
epilepsy and a lot of people that don't have epilepsy that are
walking around with no corpus colossum, smaller than normal or even
pieces missing. My daughter Julia 18 months has Aicardi Syndrome they
diagnose it by agenisus of the corpus collossum, lacunae of the eye
and infantile spasms. Fortunately we got rid of the infantile spasms
but they were replaced with a multifocal seizure disorder and she
still has 4 - 6 seizures a day (we're down from 10). There is a
connection between the corpus collosum and epilepsy but, for this to
be ture you would have had seizures as an infant / toddler. How old
were you when your seizures started?
