Schizencephaly, i.e., split brain, is a rare, congenital cerebral malformation. Magnetic resonance imaging is the best neuroimaging modality for its diagnosis. In literature, only few cases have been reported causing symptoms in adults. Symptomatic patients present as hemiparesis, developmental deficits to seizures. This condition is usually found at birth and presents during early years. Appropriate diagnosis of the disease is necessary to avoid incorrect treatment. Here, we present a rare case of left, unilateral, open lip schizencephaly in an adult patient presenting with partial seizures but with an asymptomatic childhood.
脑裂畸形,即裂脑,是一种罕见的先天性脑畸形。磁共振成像(MRI)是诊断该病的最佳神经影像学检查方法。在文献中,仅有少数成人出现症状的病例报道。有症状的患者表现为偏瘫、发育缺陷至癫痫发作。这种疾病通常在出生时就被发现,并在早年出现症状。正确诊断该疾病对于避免不恰当的治疗是必要的。在此,我们报告一例罕见的成年患者,其为左侧单侧开放性唇脑裂畸形,表现为部分性癫痫发作,但童年时无症状。
