Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the association of persistence of cavum septum pellucidum in various neurological disorders among children above one year of age attending pediatric neurology outpatient department of Stanley Hospital. DESIGN: Hospital based descriptive study. SETTING: Paediatric Neurology Department of Stanley Hospital. PARTICIPANTS: 40 children between age 1 and 12 years presenting to Paediatric Neurology outpatient clinic, Stanley Hospital. PROCEDURE: Children who had undergone MRI Brain study for their clinical condition and had findings consistent with cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) were included in the study. Detailed history, clinical examination and diagnosis were noted and analyzed for significant association. RESULTS: cavum septum pellucidum was more commonly associated with seizures (67%) followed by developmental delay (16%) and breath holding spells (16%). There was no significant association with behavioural abnormalities. CONCLUSION: The common embryological origin of the septum pellucidum, corpus callosum and limbic system explains the anatomical basis for their concurrent involvement in disease processes. Thus CSP can be considered as a possible marker for limbic system dysgenesis.
