Abstract:
In summary, Aicardi syndrome is defined by its tetrad of infantile spasms, agenesis of the corpus callosum, mental retardation, and chorioretinal lacunae. We report a case of Aicardi syndrome with associated cleft lip and palate. This is an infrequent finding that is present in approximately 3 percent of reported cases. Plastic surgeons should be aware of this association when treating patients with cleft lip and palate.
