CEREBRAL MALFORMATIONS SCHIZENCEPHALY
¢Schizencephaly is associated with the development of fluid-filled clefts within the cerebrum.
The etiology of schizencephaly is unknown and few cases have been reported.
¢The sonographic appearance of schizencephaly is that of a cerebrum containing clefts filled with anechoic, cerebrospinal fluid.
There are several associated anomalies, such as agenesis of the corpus callosum, agenesis of the cavum septum pellucidum, and ventriculomegaly.
