Abstract:
Septum pellucidum is a thin midline membrane that separates the anterior horns of the lateral ventricle. Agenesis of septum pellucidum (ASP) is considered a continuum of forebrain maldevelopment. Isolated ASP is a rare radiographic finding of unclear significance. We report a case of a 42-year-old male with ASP who presented with a new-onset seizure and eye closure sensitivity seen in the electroencephalogram. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain confirmed the ASP. In the absence of data about the association between seizure and ASP, further studies are needed to determine its significance.

Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
