Subependymal Heterotopia With Psychosis and Imperforate Anus in a Female Patent

Abstract

In the last couple of years, with the advancement of imaging methods, the diagnosis of gray matter heterotopia has been more promising. Gray matter heterotopia is a rare disorder in the general population, but recent attention to its psychiatric aspects encouraged us to introduce a patient with a form of gray matter heterotopia, who suffers from the anatomical abnormalities with a variety of psychiatric disorders. Our patient is a 25-year-old woman, who presented a variety of organogenesis disorders such as imperforate anus and rectovaginal fistula with the presence of gray matter heterotopia and history of refractory mood and psychotic disorders during 9 past years. Because of the various clinical manifestations of the disease, syndromic attention to this disease seems to be helpful in diagnosing and treating its various aspects.
