Neuroimaging of septo-optic dysplasia-plus with midbrain hypoplasia and ophthalmoplegia

Abstract

Septo-optic dysplasia is a rare brain malformation that can be associated with anomalous cortical development, such as schizencephaly, which is referred to as septo-optic dysplasia plus. This report describes septo-optic dysplasia-plus associated with unilateral atrophy of the midbrain and oculomotor nerve deficiency, which was diagnosed on MRI in a teenage male who presented with ophthalmoplegia.
