Health | Female children may also have a specific syndrome, Aicardi's syndrome, in addition to ACC and infantile spasms, in which there is severe mental retardation and chorioretinal lacunae (lesions of the retina of the eye). ACC may occur as an isolated condition or in combination with other cerebral anomalies including Arnold-Chiari malformation and Dandy-Walker syndrome, Andermann syndrome (with progressive neuropathy), schizencephaly, holoprosencephaly, and migrational anomalies. (references) | |
Aicardi syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the partial or complete agenesis (absence) of the corpus callosum (the structure that links the 2 hemispheres of the brain), infantile spasms (a form of childhood seizure), mental retardation, and an ocular (eye) abnormality called lacunae (lesions) of the retina of the eye. Aicardi syndrome may be associated with other brain defects such as microcephaly (small brain) or porencephalic cysts (cerebrospinal fluid-filled cavities or gaps in the brain). (references) | ||
