Updates to Study Attributes

Findings was changed:

Grey matter lined CSF cleft extending from the right lateral ventricle to the right fronto-temporalfrontotemporal cortex, finding consistent with open lip schizencephaly. The relatively small size of the right cerebral peduncle suggests Wallerian degeneration.

The following subsidiary findings are seen as well (absent septum pellucidum, point"point down" appearance of the lateral ventricular frontal horns on coronal images, small pituitary gland, and the stalk is not clearly seen).

Abnormal high signal of the peri-ventricularperiventricular white matter as well as multiple scattered foci of FLAIR high signal of the deep white matter consistent with small vessel ischemia.
