THE CONSTELLATION OF CRANIOFACIAL AND CNS ANOMALIES IN A SINGLE PATIENT

Ateeque Ahmed Khan, Mahnoor Hafeez

Abstract


We report an unusual case of a 2 year child who presented to the Civil Hospital with congenital facial deformity and delayed developmental milestones. His MRI and CT scan demonstrated peri-callosal lipoma with callosal dysgenesis, right parasagittal arachnoid cyst, left para-sellar dermoid with internal carotid artery encasement, falx calcification, right nasal dermoid causing hypertelorism, with ipsilateral nasal cleft, frontal and cribriform plate defects. To the best of authors’ knowledge, this unique combination of Cranio-facial and CNS anomalies has not been described earlier in the literature.

Key words: Dermoid Cyst, Peri-Callosal Lipoma, Callosal Dysgenesis, Nasal Dermoid, Falx Calcification.
