Aicardi Syndrome
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). Onset of Aicardi syndrome generally begins between the ages of 3 and 5 months. The disorder affects only females.
Is there any treatment?
There is no cure for Aicardi syndrome nor is there a standard course of treatment. Treatment, which is symptomatic, generally involves management of seizures and intervention programs for mental retardation.
What is the prognosis?

    Aicardi et al . in 1965 described 8 cases with a triad of spasm in flexion, callosal agenesis and ocular abnormalities(1). This clinical syndrome now includes other features like vertebral anomalies, cortical heterotopias, hypotonia, mental subnormality, poor life expectancy, characteristic electrophysiological and radiological abnormalities(2). This disorder has been observed usually in females with the exception of two male infants(3). We report a typical case of Aicardi syndrome with Dandy walker malformation which is an unusual, association. Case Report A 7-month-old girl presented to us with infantile spasm since the age of two months. She was born by an uncomplicated normal vaginal delivery at term to a primigravida mother. The parents were non-consanguineous and there was no significant antenatal illness. The symptoms started initially with myoclonic jerks and occasional generalized tonic clonic convulsions. Her examination revealed marked hypotonia, micro-ophthalmia of right eye, microcephaly (

    Aicardi syndrome
    Symptoms: Children are most commonly diagnosed with Aicardi Syndrome between the ages of three months and five months, if they meet the following criteria:
    • Female sex (or XXY genotype male) Retinal lacunae lesions of the retina Seizures typically beginning as infantile spasms, a type of epileptic disorder in infants Absence of the corpus callosum (complete or partial)
    The classic criteria remain the cornerstone of diagnosis in most patients. However, in rare cases, one of the features, especially lack of development of the corpus callosum, may be missing. The diagnosis can probably be made in such cases if two or more of the criteria below are present:
    • abnormal formations in the brain, usually microgyria where the bumps on the brain are abnormally narrow Periventricular and subcortical heterotopia (a misplacement of groups of neurons in the brain sometimes found in seizure disorders) Cysts around the 3rd ventricle and/or choroid plexuses cysts in specific areas of the brain Papillomas of choroid plexuses (a benign, non-cancerous tumor found in a specific section of the brain )
