Abstract
Schizencephaly means clefts in the brain and refers to that condition of dysmorphogenesis
in which there are bilateral, usually symmetrical, clefts in the region of the central
sulcus. This condition is readily demonstrated by computed tomography and is associated
with severe mental retardation. We add three case studies to those previously recorded
in the literature.
