Schizencephaly and porencephaly are extremely rare types of cortical dysplasia. Case 1: Prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed wide clefts in the frontal and parietal lobes bilaterally. On postnatal day 3, MRI T2-weighted images showed multiple hypointensities in the clefts and ventricular walls, suggestive of hemosiderosis secondary to intracranial hemorrhage. Case 2: Prenatal MRI sh...

Schizencephaly or split brain is an uncommon congenital disorder of cerebral cortical development, belonging to the group cell migration defects. It characterized by presence a cleft in extending from surface piamater ventricles. A 21-year-old primigravida at 19+2 weeks gestation was referred our Outpatient department with level-2 ultrasound done 18+2 suggestive schizencephaly. First trimester ...

e report a case of schizencephaly in a dysgenetic fetal brain diagnosed antenatally by the combined use of 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) sonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and then confirmed by postmortem pathologic examination. Schizencephaly is a rare disorder, resulting in mild to devastating effects on fetal neurodevelopment. The term describes a full-thickness cort...

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...

Prefrontal cortex dysfunction has been associated with a series of behavioral symptoms, such as impulsivity and affective instability, which are the defining features of several personality disorders, notably, borderline personality disorder. We report on a 27-year-old patient with schizencephaly in the right frontal lobe (cingulate cortex lesion and secondary orbitofrontal cortex dysfunction) ...

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...
