Extractions: 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. Is there any treatment?

Extractions: Welcome To SCHIZ KIDZ BUDDIES! Schizencephaly is a rare developmental disorder characterized by abnormal clefts in the brain's cerebral hemispheres. Persons with Schizencephaly may present with varying degrees of developmental delays, seizures, delayed speech and language skill, vision and eating disorders. Many have normal intelligence. They may also have microcephaly (abnormally small head), mental retardation, hemiparesis or quadriparesis (partial or complete paralysis)and reduced muscle tone (hypotonicity). Some may have hydrocephalus. Schizencephaly occurs when there is a failure of the normal migration of neurons from the germinal matrix zone at 1-5 months of gestation. Some theories suggest that possible causes of this are in-utero stroke,early gestational viral infections,and recent Italian research has linked Schizencephaly with a mutated gene called the Homeobox gene EMX-2. If the gene EMX-2 is missing or defective, nerve cell growth and migration will not occur normally and this will lead to the formation of the 'clefts' associated with Schizencephaly.

Extractions: Schizencephaly is an extremely rare developmental birth defect characterized by abnormal slits, or clefts, in the cerebral hemispheres of the brain. Babies with clefts in both hemispheres (called bilateral clefts) commonly have developmental delays, delays in speech and language skills, and problems with brain-spinal cord communication. Individuals with clefts in only one hemisphere (called unilateral clefts) are often paralyzed on one side of the body, but may have average to near-average intelligence. Individuals with schizencephaly may also have an abnormally small head, mental retardation, partial or complete paralysis, or poor muscle tone. Most will experience seizures. Some individuals may have an excessive accumulation of fluid in the brain called hydrocephalus.

Personal account about a daughter having Opitc Nerve Hypoplasia, SeptoOptic Dysplasia and had either a Congenital stroke or has schizencephaly.
http://www.lebaronfamily.com

Extractions: During the week that she spent at Stanford she received many of the same test and was evaluated by many doctors. Finally, they couldn't find anything new and she was stable that whole week so they let us take her home. At that time it was our understanding that they agreed with the diagnoses of Congenital Stroke, and we were told that we were bringing home a well baby. Two weeks after we brought her home we went back to Stanford for the results of her genetic testing and received that happy news that they did not find anything. At this point we were pretty happy and relieved that it was all over. Needless to say we were wrong. At two and a half months we took her to see a Pediatric Ophthalmologist because we were concerned that her eyes were still rolling around and that she hadn't gained any motor control of them yet. At that appointment we were told that she has Optic Nerve Hypoplasia and that we needed to see a Pediatric Endocrinologist to see if she had Optic Nerve Hypoplasia and possibly Septo-Optic Dysplasia. We discovered shortly after on our visit to a Pediatric Endocrinologist that she did indeed have SOD. It was not until she was 10 months old that we discovered that her congenital stroke was actually unilateral right hemispheric schizencephaly. Not knowing exactly what this meant we started to do a lot of research, only to discover that there is not a lot of information on schizencephaly. At 11 months after talking to her Neurologist after a Video EEG to determine whether or not she was having seizures and we were told for a second time that they felt that she had a Congenital Stroke.

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. Treatment for individuals with schizencephaly generally consists of physical therapy, treatment for seizures, and, in cases that are complicated by hydrocephalus, a shunt (a surgically implanted tube that diverts fluid from one pathway to another).

Statistics About Schizencephaly - WrongDiagnosis.com
Statistics about schizencephaly as a medical condition including prevalence,incidence, death rates, and social and hospital statistics.
http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/s/schizencephaly/stats.htm

Extractions: Feedback About statistics: This page presents a variety of statistics about Schizencephaly. The term 'prevalence' of Schizencephaly usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Schizencephaly at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Schizencephaly refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Schizencephaly diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics Prevalence and incidence statistics for Schizencephaly: (see also prevalence and incidence page for Schizencephaly)

Extractions: The cleft may be narrow or closed (type 1) or wide and open (type 2). It is frequently associated with complete or partial absence of the cavum septum pellucidum in approximately 80-90% of cases. The cleft is usually located near the pre- or postcentral gyri. The clefts can be unilateral or bilateral. Polymicrogyria, microcephaly, and gray matter heterotopia have also been noted. Optic nerve hypoplasia has been noted in 33% of cases, with possibility of blindness. Prognosis is poor, with severe intellectual impairment, spastic tetraplegia and blindness. Miscellaneous:
