Bilateral giant open lip schizencephaly with associated cerebral anomalies: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
A nine-month old boy was brought to our hospital with a complaint of growth retardation. On cerebral magnetic resonance imaging examination, giant clefts resulting in the connection of lateral ventricles with subarachnoidal spaces were detected in both cerebral hemispheres, and interpreted as bilateral giant open-lip schizencephaly. Associated anomalies were noted on cerebral magnetic resonance imaging examination. Bilateral thalami were located inferiorly. The caudate nuclei were observed but their configuration was disrupted. The other parts of the basal ganglia including globus pallidi and putamina were absent. We report a case of bilateral giant open-lip schizencephaly with accompanying basal ganglia anomalies.

Schizencephaly: correlation of clinical findings with MR characteristics.
PURPOSE To correlate clinical outcome with the size and location of clefts in patients with schizencephaly. PATIENTS AND METHODS MR scans and clinical records of 20 patients with schizencephaly were retrospectively reviewed. Seven patients had bilateral clefts (10 open lip clefts, 4 closed lip clefts), eight patients had right-sided unilateral clefts (5 open lip clefts, 3 closed lip clefts), ...

A case of congenital bilateral perisylvian syndrome (CBPS) associated with bilateral perisylvian schizencephaly in a 24-year-old woman is reported. She presented the classical clinical triad of CBPS, which included congenital facio-masticatory diplegia, epilepsy and only mild mental retardation, despite the presence of bilateral, open-lip clefts in the perisylvian region. We hypothesize that th...
متن کاملPrenatal and postnatal evaluation of polymicrogyria with band heterotopia
The coexistence of band heterotopia and polymicrogyria is extremely rare though it has been reported in the presence of corpus callosum anomalies and megalencephaly. We present prenatal and postnatal MRI findings of a rare case of diffuse cortical malformation characterized by polymicrogyria and band heterotopia. Agenesis of the corpus callosum and megalencephaly were also noted. In addition, b...
متن کاملA case of schizencephaly with polymicrogyria.
A case of extensive bilateral frontotemporal schizencephaly is alleged - more extensively in the left hemisphere - which associated with polymicrogyria. The cortical anomaly was discovered only incidentally by MR examination in a 22 year-old man who suffered from headache due to a mild head trauma. Neurological examination proved to be negative. He had no complaints or symptoms a few weeks late...
