Congenital bilateral perisylvian syndrome with hydrocephalus

Abstract

Congenital bilateral perisylvian syndrome (CBPS), which is seen by indications of mental retardasyon, epilepsi, speech disorder and pseudobulbar palsy, is a disease which comes up with genetic and non-genetic reasons. Revealing characteristic indications (like polymicrogyria) with MR imaging and clinic indications contributes making diagnosis. In present paper, we aimed to present 18 month girl case report who diagnosed as CBPS with hydrocephali indication.

Konjenital bilateral slyvian sendrom (KBPS) mental retardasyon, epilepsi, konuşma bozukluğu, psödobulbar palsi gibi bulgularla kendini gösteren, genetik ve genetik dışı nedenlerle ortaya çıkan konjenital bir hastalıktır. Klinik bulgularla birlikte, MR görüntüleme ile karakteristik bulguların (polimikrogiri gibi) ortaya konması, tanı konulmasında katkı sağlamaktadır.
