Case Discussion
Schizencephaly is a rare cortical malformation that manifests as a grey matter lined cleft extending from the ependyma to the pia mater.
Schizencephaly can sometimes be bilateral, and is divided into two morphological types:
-
open-lip
the cleft walls are separated and filled with CSF
most common form in bilateral cases
-
closed-lip
the cleft walls are in apposition
most common form in unilateral cases
