Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe a clinical report pre- and post-neurofunctional intervention in a case of agenesis of the corpus callosum. CASE DESCRIPTION: Preterm infant with corpus callosum agenesis and hypoplasia of the cerebellum vermis and lateral ventricles, who, at the age of two years, started the proposed intervention. Functional performance tests were used such as the neurofunctional evaluation, the Gross Motor Function Measure and the Gross Motor Function Classification System. In the initial evaluation, absence of equilibrium reactions, postural transfers, deficits in manual and trunk control were observed. The intervention was conducted with a focus on function, prioritizing postural control and guidance of the family to continue care in the home environment. After the intervention, there was an improvement of body reactions, postural control and movement acquisition of hands and limbs. The intervention also showed improvement in functional performance. COMMENTS: Postural control and transfers of positions were benefited by the neurofunction intervention in this case of agenesis of the corpus callosum. The approach based on function with activities that involve muscle strengthening and balance training reactions, influenced the acquisition of a more selective motor behavior.Entities:

Fig. 2Post-intervention results: (A) While sitting on the low stool, the patient maintained trunk control performing unior bimanual object handling; (B) Patient can transfer from the sitting to the kneeling position using a low stool support; (C) Patient remains on all fours and performs decoupling of limbs; (D) In the standing position, patient walks with the therapist’s support
