Chorioretinal lacunae: pathognomonic findings for Aicardi syndrome

J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2010 May 21:47 Online:e1-3. doi: 10.3928/01913913-20100324-03.

Abstract

Aicardi syndrome is characterized by agenesis of the corpus callosum, chorioretinal lacunae, and infantile spasms. The authors describe the case of a girl with chorioretinal lacunae, seizures, and cerebral cyst, but a normal corpus callosum. Incomplete forms of Aicardi syndrome are reported in the literature, but typical choroidal lacunae are always present and are pathognomonic.
