Abstract

Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) is a rare malformation defined by septum pellucidum abnormalities and hypoplasia of the optic nerves and chiasm. It can be associated with cortical development malformations such as schizencephaly, which is then called septo-optic dysplasia plus. It usually manifests at birth, although it may not be diagnosed until childhood, or rarely, adolescence. We report the case of a 23 years old patient, with a history of epilepsy since early childhood never labeled, which was diagnosed with SOD-PLUS with brain MRI in our department.
