Abstract

Schizencephaly is a rare CNS malformation consisting of a full-thickness CSF filled parenchymal cleft lined by grey matter (3). Schizencephaly can be diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound but requires magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for more specific diagnostic differentiation from other cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) containing structures as well as for detection of associated features (3).
