Schizencephaly with hemiparesis in a child - A case report
Journal Title: Stanley Medical Journal - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Neuronal migration disorder is a rare cause of seizure, weakness and developmental delay.It is mostly sporadic, although a few familial cases have been described 1. Individuals with clefts in both hemispheres or bilateral clefts, are often developmentally delayed and have delayed speech and language skills and corticospinal dysfunction. Individuals with smaller, unilateral clefts may be weak or paralyzed on one side of the body and may have average or near-average intelligence. Outcome and presentation of schizencephaly are variable, but it typically presents with seizures ,hemiparesis, and developmental delay. Here we report a case of open lip schizencephaly .
