Abstract: Morphometric measurements of the corpus callosum (CC) are important to have normative values according to gender, age and race/ethnicity. The present study examined the correlation between age, gender, and CC morphometrical data, across ages ˂10˃60 years old to characterize normal developmental alternations in order to be as standard local reference for Sudanese. At issue; the objectives are also to examine whether CC index continues to increase throughout life, whether there are regional differences in measurements of CC maturation, and whether these outlines are sexually dimorphic.............. .
