Aicardi Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by the Aicardi gene. Dr. Jean Aicardi, a French neurologist, identified this gene in 1965. The Syndrome is characterized by the partial or complete absence of the corpus callosum , infantile spasms (a type of childhood seizure), salaam seizures (bowing of the head), costovertebral irregularities, mental retardation, lesions on the retina and other eye abnormalities. Aicardi Syndrome may be connected with other brain defects such as microcephaly and porencephalic cysts (cerebrospinal fluid-filled cavities or gaps in the brain). Aicardi Syndrome only affects females. There is no cure and treatment is symptomatic, including the management of seizures and programs for mental retardation.

Recommend Us tell a friend about us or email this page to a friend Main Diseases and Conditions Aicardi Syndrome Aicardi syndrome is a rare disorder that affects females, and whose features include partial or compete agenesis of the corpus collosum (the structure that connects to the two halves of the brain), seizures that are difficult to control with antiseizure medications, mental retardation and abnormalities of the retina in the eye (especially colobomas The kind of seizures that infants with Aicardi syndrome usually have are infantile spasms . These seizures consist of symmetric and brief clusters of spasms of the muscles of the neck, trunk or limbs. An EEG can help to diagnose if your child is having infantile spasms, because it will show a very characteristic, abnormal pattern called hypsarrhythmia. Treatment of infantile spasms can be very difficult and your child may require treatment with many different types of medications, including clonazepam, valproate, pyridoxine, and hormonal therapy with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) or corticosteroids. Agenesis of the corpus collosum can occur by itself, without seizures, mental retardation or other medical problems. These children will usually be normal without other brain or developmental abnormalities.
