Abstract
Schizencephaly is a rare abnormality in supratentorial brain development, the etiopathogenesis of which is not yet clear. This disorder consists of the presence of a slit bordered with gray poly-microgyric substance, which extends from the subarachnoid space to the ventricles: the ventricle and the cortex communicate with each other. Here we report an infant with this condition; its clinical, radiological and prognostic aspects. This infant had unilateral open slit schizencephaly with agenesis of the corpus callosum.
