Aicardi syndrome

Abstract

Aicardi syndrome is a rare genetic disease characterized by a characteristic classical trio of neurological clinical abnormalities (spasms), agenesis of the corpus callosum, and ophthalmological abnormalities. Here, we present a case of Aicardi syndrome with complete dysgenesis of the corpus callosum, subependymal periventricular gray matter heterotopia, and a cyst in the interhemispheric fissure. Ophthalmological examination showed bilateral chorioretinal lacunae.
