Abstract
The Corpus callosum's morphometric assessment is crucial for identifying several normative dimensions that may be applied as a diagnostic tool. The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether the size, age, and shape of the corpus Callosum of residents in Port-Harcourt, Nigeria, differ according to sex or ethnicity. The study used 204 MRI scans of healthy brains that had been archived, and it combined a cross-sectional study design with a qualitative research methodology. The minimal sample size was established using the Cochran formula. Radiologic measuring software (DICOM) was used to collect the data, and SPSS version 23 T-test was used for analysis. The mean results for males were as follows: T(Genu) 12.020 ± 1.427 cm, T(Body) 6.770 ± 0.824 cm, T(Splenium) 12.320 ± 1.387 cm, DOG 34.752 ± 3.871 cm, DOS 50.750 ± 5.937 cm, and Max L 80.145 ± 4.670 cm, Max H 23.305 ± 4.121 cm, and CCI 0.3946 ± 0.0394. The mean values for females were as follows: T(Genu) 11.846 ± 1.370 cm, T(Body) 6.790 ± 0.685 cm, T(Splenium) 12.175 ± 1.247 cm, DOG 32.615 ± 3.277 cm, DOS 49.580 ± 6.302 cm, and MaxL 75.850 ± 4.086 cm, Max H 22.950 ± 2.380 cm, and CCI 0.4149 ± 0.0518. Males are larger than females, according to the morphometry of the corpus callosum across these parameters; the Max L, DOG, DOS, and CCI showed statistical differences at (P<0.05), while the others showed no statistical differences at (P>0.05). Anatomists, radiologists, and neurosurgeons will find this study useful.
