Schizencephaly diagnosed after an episode of seizure during labor: A case report

Unilateral schizencephaly open lip with septo optic dysplasia in adult woman with glaucoma: A rare case

This case report presents a 38-year-old female with unilateral open-lip schizencephaly coexisting with septo-optic dysplasia. The patient lacked motor deficits, maintaining normal developmental milestones. schizencephaly is a rare cortical malformation characterized presence of abnormal cleft in the cerebral hemispheres of the brain. These clefts extend from the surface of the brain to the ventricles. Lissencephaly can be unilateral and bilateral and divided into open lips and closed lip. It is frequently associated with other anomaly such as septo-optic dysplasia, grey matter heterotopia, septum pellucidum, and dysgenesis of the corpus callosum. Schizencephaly has no known gender predilection, and estimated incidence of 1.5: 100,000 live birth. Radiological imaging is the cornerstone of diagnosis schizencephaly.

Rare encounter: Adult-onset temporal lobe schizencephaly with septo-optic dysplasia - a case report on comprehensive diagnosis and management

This case report presents a 21-year-old male with recurrent seizures attributed to isolated temporal lobe closed-lip schizencephaly coexisting with septo-optic dysplasia. Despite adult-onset seizures, the patient lacked motor deficits, maintaining normal developmental milestones. Comprehensive diagnostic modalities, including MRI revealing temporal lobe atrophy and associated abnormalities, contributed to the unique identification of schizencephaly. The classic triad of septo-optic dysplasia further complicated the clinical spectrum. Financial limitations influenced the predominantly conservative management, highlighting healthcare challenges. This case enhances our understanding of the rare congenital disorder, emphasizing the importance of tailored diagnostics and management strategies for diverse presentations of schizencephaly, particularly in the context of associated congenital anomalies.
