Unilateral Closed Lip Schizencephaly with Septo-Optic Dysplasia
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, pac...
متن کاملUnilateral optic nerve hypoplasia with asymmetric septum: A case report of unilateral septo-optic dysplasia
Septo-optic dysplasia is an uncommon diagnosis comprised in part of a unique composition of congenitalmalformations of the central nervous system. It is defined by three principle findings: optic nerve hypoplasia, absence of the septum pellucidum, and clinical pituitary dysfunction. The syndrome may be associated with various cerebral defects including ectopic posterior pituitary, dysgenesis of...

Schizencephaly is a malformation of cortical development characterized by gray matter-lined clefts in the cerebral cortex and a range of neurological presentations. In some cases, there are features of septo-optic dysplasia concurrently with schizencephaly. The etiologies of both schizencephaly and septo-optic dysplasia are thought to be heterogeneous, but there is evidence that at least some c...
متن کاملSepto-optic dysplasia plus: a spectrum of malformations of cortical development.
The authors describe three children with septo-optic dysplasia (SOD)-plus: SOD and an associated malformation of cortical development. All three children had developmental delay, and two of the children had significant associated motor deficits. The associated cortical malformations with SOD include a spectrum of disorders of neuronal organization, not limited, as previously described, to schiz...
متن کاملInfantile infection and diabetes insipidus in children with optic nerve hypoplasia.
BACKGROUND Bilateral optic nerve hypoplasia (BONH) is often associated with other central nervous system midline abnormalities (septo-optic dysplasia). Hormonal dysfunction, caused by anterior (cortisol) and posterior (ADH) pituitary involvement, can be sudden, severe, and life threatening. METHODS Case series. Three cases of septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) presenting as infantile infection with ...
