What is closed lip schizencephaly?

Schizencephaly is of two types: Type I (closed-lip) schizencephaly is characterized by gray matter-lined lips that are in contact with each other and Type II (open-lip) schizencephaly has separated lips and a cleft of CSF, extending to the underlying ventricle.

What is schizencephaly syndrome?

Definition. Schizencephaly is an extremely rare developmental birth defect characterized by abnormal slits, or clefts, in the cerebral hemispheres of the brain.

What causes closed lip schizencephaly?

What causes schizencephaly? The exact cause of schizencephaly is unknown. Some people have genetic and vascular theories about the possible causes. People have linked some cases of the condition to certain medications or infections that can disrupt blood flood in developing infants.

What is bilateral schizencephaly?

Unilateral schizencephaly usually causes paralysis on one side of the body and low muscle tone but is accompanied by average or near-average intelligence. Bilateral schizencephaly can be more severe, especially if it affects large areas of the brain.

What does schizencephaly come from?

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.

Is schizencephaly a form of cerebral palsy?

The clinical features of schizencephaly are extremely variable and their severity is closely related to the importance of the cleft. Children with unilateral schizencephaly present with hemiparesis as spastic cerebral palsy hemiplegia and mild mental delay.

What is heterotopic gray matter?

OVERVIEW. Grey matter heterotopia is a malformation of cortical development, where cortical cells (grey matter) are present in inappropriate locations in the brain, due to interruption in their migration to their correct location in the cerebral cortex.

What is Heterotopia in the brain?

Heterotopia means "out of place." In normal brain development, neurons form in the periventricular region, located around fluid-filled cavities (ventricles) near the center of the brain. The neurons then migrate outward to form the exterior of the brain (cerebral cortex ) in six onion-like layers.

Is schizencephaly a neural tube defect?

These fetuses cannot survive and often times are spontaneously aborted or must be surgically removed. Hydranencephaly, iniencephaly, and schizencephaly are additional open neural tube defects that occur secondary to incomplete closure of the superior (i.e., top) neuropore.

When is schizencephaly diagnosed?

Clinically, schizencephaly is a rare diagnosis in prenatal medicine. Most cases of schizencephaly are diagnosed after 28 weeks gestation. To date, schizencephaly has never been reported before 20 weeks gestation [2], [3], [4].

Is schizencephaly life threatening?

Schizencephaly life expectancy The life expectancy for individuals with schizencephaly varies depending on the size of the clefts and the extent of neurological disabilities.

How to diagnose schizencephaly?

Schizencephaly is typically diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). [2] . 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.

What are the four genes that cause schizencephaly?

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]

How long does it take for schizencephaly to be diagnosed?

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.

What is a schizencephaly?

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 ...

What is partial paralysis?

Partial or complete paralysis. Poor muscle tone ( hypotonia) Hydrocephalus. Severity of symptoms depends on many factors, including the extent of the clefting and whether or not other brain abnormalities are present.

Is schizencephaly genetic or non-genetic?

[2] . Although the exact cause of schizencephaly is unknown, it has been linked to a variety of genetic and non-genetic factors.

Can a cleft in one hemisphere cause intellectual disability?

For example, people with a small cleft in one hemisphere may have paralysis on one side of the body and little to no intellectual disability, while clefts in both hemispheres can lead to quadriplegia (paralysis of both arms and legs) and severe intellectual disability. [2] Last updated: 11/18/2014.
