Abstract
Schizencephaly is a rare congenital brain malformation characterized by deep clefts of the cerebral mantle that extend from the cortical surface to the lateral ventricles. The conditions are often associated with convolutional anomalies such as polymicrogyria or nodular subependymal heterotopias.
