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?

Disease Injury Nutrition Poison ... Prevention 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 )
