Schizencephaly is a very rare congenital birth defect. It is characterized by a cortical brain malformation that manifests as a grey-matter-lined cleft extending from the ependyma to the pia mater. It is a rare condition, and few cases have been reported in the literature. The exact cause is unknown. Herein, we report a case of an infant presenting with left side hemiparesis. The CT scan of her brain revealed right fronto-temporal and left parieto-temporal open-lip schizencephaly; thus, urgent referral to a pediatric neurologist was made for early intervention.
脑裂畸形是一种非常罕见的先天性出生缺陷。其特征是皮质脑畸形,表现为从室管膜延伸至软脑膜的灰质内衬裂隙。这是一种罕见病症,文献中报道的病例很少。确切病因尚不清楚。在此,我们报告一例表现为左侧偏瘫的婴儿病例。她的脑部CT扫描显示右侧额颞叶和左侧顶颞叶开放性唇裂脑裂畸形;因此,紧急转诊给儿科神经科医生进行早期干预。
