Case series of rare cases of bilateral open lip Schizencephaly presenting with Status Epilepticus

chizencephaly is a rare congenital disorder of cerebral

cortical development characterized by cerebrospinal fluid-

filled clefts that extend from the pia surface of the cerebral

hemisphere to the ependymal surface of the ventricle. It is a

neuronal migration anomaly, caused by insults to migrating

neuroblasts during 3rd to 5th gestational months. Incidence

worldwide is around 1.5 in 1,000,000 with 25.6 % under

bilateral open lip type.

My case is a 2 year old male child born to a 21 year old

G1P0 mother with uneventful maternal history via normal

vaginal delivery in a lying-in clinic. Now presented with status

epilepticus, fever and signs of pneumonia, severelyunderweight

and wasted with developmental delay. Non enhanced cranial

CT scan reveals bilateral open lip Schizencephaly with absent

septum pellucidum.

Next case is a 17 month old male with blurred vision,

developmental delay and presented with status epilepticus.

Cranial MR reveals Bilateral open lip Schizencephaly with

absent septum pellucidum and atrophic bilateral optic nerves

representing Septo-optic dysplasia. Both cases are managed

under antiseizure medications. There is a big question to the

present world on preventing and managing such cases. Can we

make them live their lifespan? Can they be taken as source of

organ donation? Research subjects?
