Clinical and Topographical Range of Callosal Infarction:A Clinical and Radiological Correlation Study
JNNP 59:238-242, Giroud,M.&Duman,R., 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Clinical features were characterized by left ideomotor apraxia, construction apraxia,and left agraphia in all five cases.Alien hand was noted in only two cases.There were gait disorders in three cases with MRI features of multiple lacunes in a large part of the corpus callosum,and also the subcortical areas of both hemispheres.It is emphasised that callosal infarctions are not rare and that they contribute to the clinical features of strokes.As well as the classic incomplete callosal disconnection syndrome,these callosal ischaemic lesions may induce non- specific gait disorders.
