This is a congenital brain malformation where the corpus callosum, the vital bridge of nerve fibers connecting the left and right sides of the brain, is either underdeveloped or completely missing. Without this connection, communication between the two brain hemispheres is disrupted, affecting the central nervous system.
Owners typically notice symptoms during the puppy or adolescent stage, which can include coordination problems, learning difficulties, unusual behaviors, or epileptic seizures.
While the underlying brain malformation cannot be cured, symptoms like seizures can be managed with lifelong supportive care and medications. Managing this condition typically costs between 1,500 and 6,000 EUR.
Estimated range of typical treatment cost. Actual cost depends on severity, clinic and region.
