Schizencephaly is a rare developmental disorder of congenital cerebral malformation. We bring to your attention the case study of a 5 year old female child reported with focal seizures and right hemiparesis since 5 months of her age. Her parents gave history of birth asphyxia and global developmental delay. On examination decreased muscle bulk, increased muscle tone, decreased muscle power, exaggerated tendon reflexes on right upper and lower limbs, and up going plantars on right lower limb with hemiplegic gait was observed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed open lip schizencephaly of left parietal cortex and partial agenesis of corpus callosum
