We report on a 19-year-old patient with a 4-year history of lying and cheating who presented neuropsychological abnormalities regarding attention deficits, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed schizencephaly of the right central region, dysgenesia of the corpus callosum, a noneverted gyrus cinguli and hypoplasia of the left cerebellar hemisphere. Although the patient did not fulfill the diagnostic criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, we suggest that the patient's behavioral alteration could be related to the neuroanatomical alterations, especially the aplasia of the gyrus cinguli.
