Introduction
Schizencephaly is a rare congenital brain malformation characterized by
abnormal clefts in the cerebral cortex. Schizencephaly is rare and
thought to affect 0.54 to 1.54 out of every 100,000 live
births.1 1.48 per 100,000 live births is the estimated
prevalence.2 Patients may present with seizures,
developmental delay, and motor deficits. Absent septum pellucidum is a
common association seen in patients with schizencephaly and has been
reported to be present in up to 50% of cases.3Diagnosis is typically made through neuroimaging studies such as MRI. We
report a 25-year-old adult who has an incidental diagnosis of
schizencephaly with absent septum pellucidum.
