Abstract

Abstract

Schizencephaly is a very unique disease due to an abnormal migration of fluid-filled clefts that communicate between the lateral ventricles and cerebrum. Due to these abnormal migrations, neurological abnormalities can occur to varying degrees. In fact, in some instances, mirror movements, which are a form of involuntary movement where intentional movements of one side result in unintentional movements of the opposing side, can occur. However, these cases are rare since the incidence of either one of these diseases separately is very low. Here we would like to present a very rare case of a 23-year-old male with right-sided closed-lip schizencephaly resulting in bilateral mirror movements. A discussion regarding how this patient has a bilateral motor dysfunction despite having unilateral biological and neurological disease will also be held.
