Case Discussion
Aicardi syndrome is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by congenital chorioretinal lacunae, corpus callosum dysgenesis, seizures, polymicrogyria, cerebral heterotopias, intracranial cysts, and costovertebral defects.
The main clinical features were developmental retardation and intractable epileptic seizures with typical infantile spasm, Ophthalmoscopic examination revealed pathognomonic chorioretinopathy.
A characteristic EEG pattern was found in all cases.
