There are parallel widely spaced lateral ventricles giving 'racing car' sign, with the third ventricle sited highly. There is dilation of the occipital horns of the lateral ventricles, corresponding to colpocephaly. The corpus callosum and septum pellucidum are absent.

Peri-ventricular calcifications are noted suggesting sequelae of intra-uterine TORCH infection.
