Aicardi's Syndrome This article submitted by Geoff McGowan on 11/15/95. My daughter (now 9) first presented symptoms at 4.5 months. After much testing she was diagnosed with Aicardi's Syndrome. Drug therapy has included Phenobarbital,Dilantin,Tegratol, and many others. Sheis currently taking a combination of Epival, Clobazam, Vigabatrin, and Gabopentin. Currently she still experiences 3-5 seizures/day both partial complex and flexion. She is relatively highly functioning, in the school system in a special needs class. Her attention span is limited and her social/emotional developement is well below age appropriate. We are considering the Ketogenic diet as I can't help feeling that the meds are slowing her learning and developement. Does anyone have any experience with Aicardi's and the Ketogenic diet?

Home List categories Eponyms A-Z Biographies by country ... Contact Aicardi's syndrome Synonyms: Chorioretinal anomalies-corpus callosum agenesis-infantile spasms syndrome, corpus callosum agenesis-chorioretinal abnormality syndrome, corpus callosum agenesis-chorioretinopathy-infantile spasms syndrome, corpus callosum agenesis-ocular anomalies-salaam seizures syndrome. Associated persons: Jean Aicardi Description: Characteristic malformation syndrome which appear in females only (males - intrauterine death), with progrediating psychomotor deterioration. Infantile spasms, which may become manifest between 1 day and 4 months of age, epileptic attacks; typical bowing of the head (salaam seizures), agenesis of the corpus callosum, costovertebral anomalies, mental abnormalities, and hypotonia. Ocular changes include microphthalmia, eyelid twitching, absent pupillary reflexes, and funnel-shaped disks. Etiology unknown. Current theories include congenital infection, an X-linked genetic defect, and an intrauterine environmental agent. Poor prognosis. Aicardi first described the disorder in two girls. In the years that followed he was able to accumulate more cases, all of whom were females. His senior colleague, professor Jacques Lefebre, a co-author of an earlier abstract, encouraged him to delineate the new syndrome and in 1969 a full account was published in the French literature.

The syndrome occurs almost exclusively in females with no family history of ophthalmological or neurological disease. Affected patients must have two X chromosomes, so that patients with Kleinfelter's syndrome (47 XXY) can also have it. Intracranial anomalies include callosal hypogenesis ( Fig.1 ) (typically associated with interhemispheric cysts), grey matter heterotopia cortical dysplasia , posterior fossa cysts, cerebellar hypoplasia, choroid plexus papillomas , and microphthalmia. Ophthalmologic examination reveals characteristic chorioretinal lacunae, resulting from retinal dysplasia, and ocular colobomata.

Clinically the child presents with infantile spasms, mental retardation and progressive neuropathy. Radiologically, partial or complete absence of the corpus callosum is present on brain MRI. This may be associated with asymmetry of the ventricles, cerebellar hypoplasia and delayed myelination.

Aicardi (syndrome d') Syndrome très rare, qui touche essentiellement le sexe féminin, et associant une agénésie calleuse (absence totale ou partielle de la partie réunissant les deux hémisphères cérébraux constituant le cerveau, et constituée de substance blanche) avec un retard mental et une microcéphalie (taille du crâne inférieure à la normale) qui s'accuse avec le temps. S'y associent également le plus souvent : des anomalies des côtes et des vertèbres sont fréquentes, s'associant à des spasmes entraînant des mouvements en flexion des choriorétinites : inflammation de la rétine et de la choroïde de l'œil (portion située en arrière du globe oculaire, entre la rétine et la sclérotique - appelée également sclère - qui est la partie fibreuse résistante se continuant par la cornée qui elle, est transparente). L'agénésie du corps calleux entraîne : une hypotonie (c'est-à-dire une faiblesse du tonus musculaire) un retard dans l'acquisition de la marche des crises d'épilepsie (dans 40 % des cas environ). Diagnostic prénatal et post-natal L'échographie faite pendante la grossesse permet de détecter les modifications du volume du crâne qui accompagnent parfois l'agénésie du corps calleux. Elle montre d'autre part l'écartement des ventricules cérébraux, tout particulièrement dans la région occipitale c'est-à-dire vers l'arrière du crâne. Après la naissance, l'échographie visualise l'orientation particulière des sillons de la face interne des hémisphères cérébraux. Ces sillons ont une disposition qualifiée de radiaire.

Agénésie du corps calleux L'agénésie est l'absence totale ou partielle d’un tissu, d’un organe ou d’une structure, depuis la vie embryonnaire, et secondaire à une cause héréditaire. Le corps calleux est la partie réunissant les deux hémisphères cérébraux constituant le cerveau. Il est constitué de substance blanche et peut être totalement ou partiellement malformé.

L'origine de la plupart des agénésies du corps calleux reste encore inconnue.
