چکیده

Aicardi syndrome is a severe congenital disorder characterised by infantile spasms, chorioretinal lacunae, and agenesis ofthe corpus callosum. We present the case of a 10-year-old girl whose symptoms included a poorly controlled seizure disorder, typical lacunar retinopathy, partial hypoplasia of the corpus callosum, and mild developmental delay. This case alerts ophthalmologists to the presence of a mild form of the typical Aicardi syndrome that can be diagnosed by the characteristic chorioretinopathy. Our patient's symptoms also raise important questions about genetic counselling and other undiagnosed cases of infantile spasms.
