Isolated Agenesis of Septum Pellucidum and Adult-Onset Seizure Tendency With Eye Closure Sensitivity

Septum pellucidum is a thin midline membrane that separates the anterior horns of the lateral ventricle. Agenesis of septum pellucidum (ASP) is considered a continuum of forebrain maldevelopment. Isolated ASP is a rare radiographic finding of unclear significance. We report a case of a 42-year-old m...

Sumario:Septum pellucidum is a thin midline membrane that separates the anterior horns of the lateral ventricle. Agenesis of septum pellucidum (ASP) is considered a continuum of forebrain maldevelopment. Isolated ASP is a rare radiographic finding of unclear significance. We report a case of a 42-year-old male with ASP who presented with a new-onset seizure and eye closure sensitivity seen in the electroencephalogram. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain confirmed the ASP. In the absence of data about the association between seizure and ASP, further studies are needed to determine its significance.
