Using high-resolution in-vivo magnetic resonance morphometry of the midsagittal area of the corpus callosum (CC) and four callosal subareas in 21 children with developmental language disorder (DLD) of the phonologic-syntactic type we found no significant anatomical differences in comparison to an age- and gender-matched normal control group. There was also no significant between-group difference when the similar to 7% smaller forebrain volume among children with DLD was accounted for by relating CC measures to forebrain volume. Only a tendency towards a larger anterior and middle CC in relation to forebrain volume was found in DLD children. In our DLD children we found the same relationship between CC midsagittal size and forebrain volume as recently reported for normal adults, namely, that the CC area increases to the two-third power of forebrain volume.
