Unlike the Textbook Triad: A Rare Case of Aicardi Syndrome
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
Aicardi syndrome (AS) is an X-linked inherited disorder characterized by infantile spasms, chorioretinal lacunae, and agenesis or hypogenesis of the corpus callosum. Since the description of the first case of Aicardi syndrome in 1965 not many have contributed to the list, hence preserving its rarity. The purpose of this case report was to demonstrate the spectrum of MRI findings and follow up in the course of Aicardi syndrome.
