Severity of symptoms depends on many factors including the extent of the clefting and whether or not other brain abnormalities are present. Although the exact cause of schizencephaly is unknown, it has been linked to a variety of genetic and non-genetic factors.
Schizencephaly is a rare congenital (present from birth) brain malformation in which abnormal slits or clefts form in the cerebral hemispheres of the brain. The signs and symptoms of this condition may include developmental delay, seizures, and problems with brain-spinal cord communication.
Schizencephaly is typically diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A CT scan is an imaging method that uses x-rays to create pictures of cross-sections of the body, while an MRI scan uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create pictures of the brain and surrounding nerve tissues.

A colloid cyst is a slow-growing tumor typically found near the center of the brain. If large enough, a colloid cyst obstructs cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) movement, resulting in a build up of CSF in the ventricles of the brain (hydrocephalus) and elevated brain pressure.
A colloid cyst is a benign, fluid-filled sac that arises in the area of the brain known as the third ventricle. The common surgical treatments for colloid cyst are shunt placement, craniotomy, and endoscopic craniotomy; in some cases only observation is necessary.
A brain cyst or cystic brain lesion is a fluid-filled sac in the brain. They can be noncancer (benign) or cancer (malignant). Benign means that the growth doesn't spread to other parts of the body. A cyst may contain blood, pus, or other material. In the brain, cysts sometimes contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
In some cases, schizencephaly can also be diagnosed prenatally (before birth) on ultrasound after 20 weeks gestation. If clefting is seen on ultrasound, an MRI scan of the developing baby may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis. [2] [10] Last updated: 11/18/2014.
Listen. Schizencephaly is a rare congenital (present from birth) brain malformation in which abnormal slits or clefts form in the cerebral hemispheres of the brain. The signs and symptoms of this condition may include developmental delay, seizures, and problems with brain-spinal cord communication. People with schizencephaly may also have an ...
People with the same disease may not have all the symptoms listed. This information comes from a database called the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) . The HPO collects information on symptoms that have been described in medical resources.
A small number of people with schizencephaly are found to have changes ( mutations) in one of four genes: EMX2, SIX3, SHH, and COL4A1. [5] [3] [6] Rarely, schizencephaly can affect more than one family member. [4] [7] [8] [9] This supports a genetic cause in some cases. [4]
