Schizencephaly is a very rare neurological disorder usually discovered during radiological evaluation of children and young adults with seizure disorders or neurodevelopmental anomalies. We present a 66-year-old patient with right-sided hemiatrophy and paresis presenting with an adult-onset seizure disorder. Her seizure was satisfactorily controlled with a single-therapy antiseizure drug. Congenital brain lesions should be part of the differential diagnoses in patients with epilepsy who have body asymmetry dated back to childhood.
脑裂畸形是一种非常罕见的神经系统疾病,通常在对患有癫痫症或神经发育异常的儿童和年轻人进行影像学评估时发现。我们报告一例66岁患者,有右侧半身萎缩和轻瘫,并伴有成人期发作的癫痫症。她的癫痫通过单一抗癫痫药物得到了满意控制。先天性脑损伤应作为癫痫患者鉴别诊断的一部分,这些患者自幼就存在身体不对称。
