%X Infarctions of the corpus callosum are rare due to a rich blood supply. Corpus callosum derives its blood supply from four vessels from the anterior and posterior circulation and for this reason, they have a rare, atypical presentation. There is scarce literature regarding this pathology. Corpus callosum infarcts usually present with non-specific signs and symptoms. Here, we describe a case of corpus callosum infarction in a 5-year-old boy who was a known case of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. He presented with disseminated varicella infection and developed tonic-clonic seizures. MRI brain was performed and a diagnosis of corpus callosum infarct was made. The patient was treated conservatively.
