Septo-optic Dysplasia

The SOD phenotype is highly heterogeneous and diagnosis is made in the presence of at least two of these three features. [5] Only about a third of patients have all three features but patients with any component of the syndrome should be screened for the other features too. The cause of SOD is unknown but viral infections, gestational diabetes, environmental teratogens, vascular or degenerative...

A giant renal angiomyolipoma (AML) in a patient with septo-optic dysplasia (SOD)

Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a rare benign renal tumor occurring in about 0.3 to 3% of the general population. Most frequently it takes the form of small single tumors occurring sporadically or accompanying tuberous sclerosis (Bourneville-Pringle disease). In some cases the tumor may reach a very large size and be a cause of various serious complications. This case description concerns a 26-year-old...

Septo-optic dysplasia.

Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), also referred to as de Morsier syndrome, is a rare congenital condition, characterized by two of the classic triad features: midline brain abnormalities, optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) and pituitary endocrine dysfunction. We report 5 children with SOD, originally referred to be evaluated due to short stature, who also presented bilateral optic nerve hypoplasia, nystag...
