Abstract

Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), also referred to as de Morsier syndrome, is a rare congenital condition, being defined by the association of two out of three features: optic nerve hypoplasia, midline abnormalities and hypothalamic-pituitary endocrine deficiencies. Arachnoid cysts area a common association with other midline malformations of the brain, most notably agenesis of the corpus callosum or holoprosencephaly. They are present in 12,5% of the patients with SOD. We describe the case of a 1-year-old infant with septo-optic dysplasia in whom a quadrigeminal cistern arachnoid cyst with hydrocephalus was detected. We consider it to be the first case described in which these pathologies occur at the same time and we make a brief review of their most relevant aspects
