Abstract
The Andermann syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder which consists of agenesis of the corpus callosum, mild to moderate mental retardation and sensorimotor neuropathy. The eponym was first used to refer to this disorder by Larbrisseau and his colleagues (1984) when they described the clinical features of the patients studied at Ste-Justine Hospital for Children in Montreal.
