Causes The cause of Aicardi syndrome is unknown at this time, but is presumed to be a genetic disorder carried on the X-chromosome in some cases and a random, sporadic mutation in others. There are less than 500 cases of Aicardi worldwide. Symptoms Children are most commonly diagnosed with Aicardi Syndrome between the ages of three months and five months, if they meet the following criteria:

Aicardi syndrome From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Aicardi syndrome is a congenital disorder thought to result from an abnormality of the X chromosome and characterized by absence of the corpus callosum , retinal abnormalities, and seizures (often infantile spasms). Contents History Epidemiology Pathophysiology Features ... edit History It was first described by Jean Aicardi , a french neurologist in 1965. edit Epidemiology There are about 500 cases worldwide, almost all of them in females, because it is thought to be lethal in otherwise genetically normal males. It has been identified in males with Klinefelter syndrome , who have an extra X chromosome. edit Pathophysiology edit Features Children are most commonly identified with Aicardi Syndrome between the ages of three and five months. A significant number of these girls are products of normal births and seem to be developing normally until around the age of three months, when they begin to have infantile spasms. The onset of infantile spasms at this age is due to closure of the final neural synapses in the brain, a stage of normal brain development. Prognosis varies widely, though all experience developmental delays of some degree, typically moderate to severe mental retardation.

This clinical syndrome now includes other features like vertebral anomalies, cortical heterotopias, hypotonia, mental subnormality, poor life expectancy, characteristic electrophysiological and radiological abnormalities(2). This disorder has been observed usually in females with the exception of two male infants(3). We report a typical case of Aicardi syndrome with Dandy walker malformation which is an unusual, association. Case Report A 7-month-old girl presented to us with infantile spasm since the age of two months. She was born by an uncomplicated normal vaginal delivery at term to a primigravida mother. The parents were non-consanguineous and there was no significant antenatal illness. The symptoms started initially with myoclonic jerks and occasional generalized tonic clonic convulsions. Her examination revealed marked hypotonia, micro-ophthalmia of right eye, microcephaly (

Amongst these, ACC, infantile spasms, mental retardation and chorioretinal lacunae are the constant findings(1). It is a rare neuro-ophthalmic disorder with progressive mental deterioration. All the patients described till date have been females except two male subjects(2,3). We describe a male baby who had all the essential features suggestive of Aicardi’s Syndrome along with ventricular septal defect and lissencephaly.

Genetic studies in X-linked dominant Aicardi syndrome The search for genes mutated in X-linked dominant sporadic disorders is challenging because positional cloning strategies, requiring the study of families with multiple affected individuals, are not possible. Currently, functional candidate-gene approaches or the study of affected patients who carry cytogenetically visible chromosomal rearrangements are the only options left. The objective of this project is to design and use alternative strategies to identify the genes that are mutated in X-linked dominant disorders with male lethality: A icardi S yndrome (AS) and Goltz Syndrome or F ocal D ermal H ypoplasia (FDH), which has overlap in phenotypic features. These patients suffer from a variety of defects, including agenesis of the corpus callosum, microphthalmia, seizures, skeletal and skin defects. A predominant component of their phenotype is very severe to moderate mental retardation in all (Aicardi syndrome) or many (Goltz syndrome) affected patients. We previously demonstrated that AS and FDH are not allelic with microphthalmia with linear skin defects (MLS) syndrome, which has an overlapping phenotype and is caused by heterozygous deletions in Xp22.3. Relevance of the project to MRDDRC Mission: This project is highly relevant to the mission of the MRDDRC. AS and FDH are characterized by central nervous system and ocular abnormalities, and often profound mental retardation. The disorders are X-linked dominant and sporadic, hence the identification of the mutated gene is highly challenging and requires use of novel technologies (such as genomic arrays), DNA sequencing methods and detailed neuropathological evaluation. All these will benefit significantly from availability of the MRDDRC cores.

Aicardi Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the partial or complete absence of the structure that links the two hemispheres of the brain . The structure that links the two hemispheres of the brain is called the corpus callosum. Aicardi syndrome affects only girls. However, in very rare cases, males with Klinefelter syndrome . Aicardi syndrome usually begins between the ages of 3 and 5 months with infantile spasms, a type of childhood seizure. It may be associated with other brain defects such as a smaller than average brain and cavities or gaps in the brain filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Aicardi syndrome was first identified in 1965 by a French neurologist named Dr. Jean Aicardi. Symptoms of Aicardi Syndrome? The most common symptoms of aicardi syndrome are: infantile spasms mental retardation growths on the retina of the eye growths on the optic nerve blindness Can Aicardi Syndrome be Treated?

Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The cause of Aicardi syndrome is unknown at this time, but is presumed to be a genetic disorder carried on the X-chromosome in some cases and a random, sporadic mutation in others. There are less than 500 cases of Aicardi worldwide. Symptoms: Children are most commonly diagnosed with Aicardi Syndrome between the ages of three months and five months, if they meet the following criteria: Female sex (or XXY genotype male) Retinal lacunae lesions of the retina Seizures typically beginning as infantile spasms, a type of epileptic disorder in infants Absence of the corpus callosum (complete or partial) The classic criteria remain the cornerstone of diagnosis in most patients. However, in rare cases, one of the features, especially lack of development of the corpus callosum, may be missing. The diagnosis can probably be made in such cases if two or more of the criteria below are present:
