Tell a friend Schizencephaly Schizencephaly: A developmental disorder of the brain characterized by abnormal slits, or clefts, in the cerebral hemispheres. Schizencephaly is a form of porencephaly. Individuals with clefts in both hemispheres, or bilateral clefts, are often developmentally delayed and have delayed speech and language skills and corticospinal dysfunction. Individuals with smaller, unilateral clefts (clefts in one hemisphere) may be weak on one side of the body and may have average or near-average intelligence. Patients with schizencephaly may also have varying degrees of microcephaly, mental retardation, hemiparesis (weakness or paralysis affecting one side of the body), or quadriparesis (weakness or paralysis affecting all four extremities), and may have reduced muscle tone (hypotonia). Most patients have seizures and some may have hydrocephalus. In schizencephaly, the neurons border the edge of the cleft implying a very early disruption in development. There is now a genetic origin for at least one type of schizencephaly. Other possible causes may include environmental exposures during pregnancy such as medication taken by the mother, exposure to toxins, or a vascular insult. Often there are associated heterotopias (isolated islands of neurons) which indicate a failure of migration of the neurons to their final position in the brain.

Questions in The Neurology Forum are being answered by doctors from The Cleveland Clinic , consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in America. Closed Lip Schizencephaly Forum: The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum Topic: Neurology - General Subject: Closed Lip Schizencephaly From To Post Dawn When my daughter was a 8 months old we noticed that she was having some delays in her motor skills. We took her to the neurologist and her diagnosis was 1. cortical dysplasia involving the right per-sylvian region with broad gyri which are diminished in number associated with thickened cortex. There is deep enfolding of the cortex with a deep sulcus which nearly reaches the lateral ventricle. While this is reminiscent of closed lip schizencephaly, a thin band of white matter separates the enfolded gray matter from the ventricular body. 2. Absence of the septum pellucidum. 3. The optic chiasm and nerves appear to be within normal limits for size. She is now 5 years old and only has a lack of motor skills involving her left arm and leg. She has not shown any other problems but with this diagnosis should I be concerned about any other problems that may come up in the future. And is this hereditary. Thank You.

MainMenu Back Next Index TUMORS Central nervous system tumors in the neonatal period may occur in the brain and spine. Brain tumors may be supratentorial or infratentorial. Brain tumors may produce obstetrical complications due to severe macrocephaly, or may present in the neonatal period as hydrocephalus, focal neurological findings, or massive bleeding. Supratentorial tumors in neonates occur more often than infratentorial tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging is the study of choice for neonates with suspected brain or spinal cord tumor. Teratomas, astrocytomas, choroid plexus papilloma, and primitive neuroectodermal tumors are the most frequent brain tumors in neonates. Teratomas constitute about one-third of all neonatal tumors (Figure 257.1). A B C Figure 257.1. MRI of the brain demonstrating a large teratoma.

Magnetic resonance imaging is the method of choice to diagnose brain tumors. Treatment is surgical. Chemotherapy is sometimes used. Radiotherapy is seldom used because of its deleterious effects on future neurological development. More about... Schizencephaly Schizencephaly consists of a canal, surrounded by cerebral cortex, that allows communication between the subarachnoid space and the ventricles. Schizencephaly is diagnosed by CT or preferably by MRI. The MRI appearance of schizencephaly is very characteristic. It consists of a thin or wide canal that extends from the cerebral cortex to the ventricles. Schizencephaly is unilateral or bilateral. The walls of the clefts or lips exhibit abnormal cortex with frequent neuronal heterotropia. The lips may be adjacent or distant from each other. Schizencephaly occurs most often in the regions of the Rolandic and Sylvian fissures. Schizencephaly may be associated with optic nerve hypoplasia and absence of the septum pellucidum.

Abstract Schizencephaly is a rare congenital anomaly of the brain, characterized by formation of abnormal unilateral or bilateral clefts in the cerebral hemispheres. It often manifests with partial seizures, mental retardation and hemiparesis. Only two cases of schizencephaly associated with psychosis have been reported in the literature. A patient of schizencephaly, who had bipolar affective disorder is described. It has been compared with the earlier two reported cases of schizencephaly associated with pyschosis.

(Redirected from Anencephaly Cephalic disorders are congenital conditions that stem from damage to, or abnormal development of, the budding nervous system . Cephalic is a term that means " head " or "head end of the body." Congenital means the disorder is present at, and usually before, birth Cephalic disorders are not necessarily caused by a single factor, but may be influenced by hereditary or genetic conditions, nutritional deficiencies, or by environmental exposures during pregnancy , such as medication taken by the mother, maternal infection, or exposure to radiation (such disorders are more common in areas of the former Soviet Union affected by nuclear waste disposal problems, such as the area around the Mayak plant in Chelyabinsk Russia .) Some cephalic disorders occur when the cranial sutures (the fibrous joints that connect the bones of the skull ) join prematurely. Most cephalic disorders are caused by a disturbance that occurs very early in the development of the

Schizencephaly is an extremely rare developmental disorder characterized by abnormal slits, or clefts, in the brain's cerebral hemispheres. Schizencephaly is a form of porencephaly in which there is a cyst or cavity in the cerebral hemispheres. Individuals with clefts in both hemispheres (bilateral clefts) are commonly developmentally delayed and have delayed speech and language skills and corticospinal dysfunction. Individuals with smaller, unilateral clefts (clefts in only one hemisphere) are often paralyzed on one side of the body and may have normal intelligence. Patients with schizencephaly may also have varying degrees of microcephaly (abnormally small head), mental retardation, hemiparesis or quadriparesis (partial or complete paralysis), and reduced muscle tone (hypotonicity). Most patients have seizures. Some may have hydrocephalus.

Transaxial brain emission image View third image(mr). Coronal MRI of the brain View fourth image(mr). Transaxial MRI of the brain Full history/Diagnosis is available below Diagnosis: Schizencephaly Full history: 26 year old man with left frontoparietal open-lip schizencephaly with overlying polymicrogyria presents with refractory complex partial seizures. Clinical evaluation suggests seizures most likely arising from the left frontal region. Radiopharmaceutical: 9.0 mCi F-18 FDG, i.v. Findings: A defect in the left frontoparietal cortex is noted corresponding to the open-lip schizencephaly on MRI. The left hemisphere is smaller than that of the right and there is enlargement of the left lateral ventricle as showed on MRI. Discussion: Schizencephaly, open- or close-lip, is associated with polymicrogyria/agyria in the adjacent cortex. Patients present with seizure, developmental delay, mental retardation and possible blindness if associated with optic nerve hypoplasia.
