Case Presentation: A 19-year-old male presented for evaluation of breakthrough seizures after inability to refill his medication following recent immigration from Haiti.

Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging obtained in the emergency department was significant for large right frontoparietal open-lip schizencephaly with mass effect, a rare congenital neurologic disorder previously undiagnosed in this patient with intractable epilepsy.

Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), also known as de Morsier syndrome, is a rare congenital disorder characterized by a combination of optic nerve hypoplasia, hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, and midline brain abnormalities, such as the absence of the septum pellucidum or thinning/agenesis of the corpus callosum. Although bilateral optic nerve hypoplasia is more common, unilateral involvement occurs less frequently. When SOD is associated with cortical malformations, such as schizencephaly, it is referred to as Septo-optic dysplasia plus.

Background: Schizencephaly and encephaloceles are rare developmental birth defects, with the former involving abnormal clefts in the cerebral hemispheres connected to the ventricular system and the latter involving a neural tube defect characterized by the protrusion of brain tissue through an abnormal skull opening. These conditions are individually uncommon, and their simultaneous occurrence in a single patient is exceedingly unusual.

Observations: This case report explores the intersection of these two rare congenital malformations in a 2-month-old female patient from an indigenous community in a rural area of Colombia.
