AI Article Synopsis
- Schizencephaly is a rare brain malformation that can result from genetic factors or prenatal issues like infections or reduced blood flow.
- Clinical symptoms typically involve developmental delays, motor difficulties, and seizures, and it can be linked to other conditions like septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) and various brain structures malformations.
- The text presents a case of unilateral closed-lip schizencephaly associated with SOD.
Article Abstract
Schizencephaly is a rare malformation of the central nervous system. Both genetic and non-genetic etiologies like prenatal infections or ischemia have been postulated. Clinical manifestations most often include varying degrees of developmental delay, motor impairment and seizures. It can be associated with septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), optic nerve hypoplasia and absence of septum pellucidum, pachygyria, polymicrogyria, heterotopia and arachnoid cysts. We report a case of unilateral closed lip schizencephaly with SOD.
