Abstract
Schizencephaly is severe but rare cortical malformation. It is a disorder characterized by a cleft in cerebral mantle, which communicates between the subarachnoid space laterally, and ventricular system medially. Diagnostic modalities are CT scan & MRI. Here we report a case of middle aged female presenting with distinct clinical features & characteristic CT Brain findings. Though the case is rare is a good example for reviewing the literature and coming to diagnosis of schizencephaly.
