Deskripsi
Abstract Schizencephaly, an extremely rare anomaly of the cortex, is characterized by abnormal clefts in the cerebral cortex. Very often, this condition is diagnosed early in the childhood period but few instances exist in literature where schizencephalyâassociated seizures and hemiparesis have presented later in life too. Here, we report a rare case scenario of a lady in her late 30s who initially presented to us with obstetric concerns wherein schizencephaly remained an incidental finding despite the significantly large cortical cleft along with lobar holoprosencephaly and lissencephaly.
