Aicardi Syndrome

Aicardi syndrome is a rare genetic brain and eye disorder that is seen almost only in girls. It involves absence or partial absence of the corpus callosum, distinctive gaps in the retina called chorioretinal lacunae, and seizures that often begin in infancy as infantile spasms. Development is usually affected. Care focuses on controlling seizures, vision and developmental support, and managing feeding and spinal problems.

There is not much recent research on Aicardi Syndrome, so this page includes research published since 2015. Most pages on RareWays start at 2020.
