Septo Optic Dysplasia
Diagnosis of Septo Optic Dysplasia
MRI Diagnosis of septo-optic dysplasia is by MRI. All children diagnosed with this anomaly should be screened for pituitary endocrine abnormalities and developmental dysfunction. The increasing use of fetal ultrasonography, which can detect absence of the septum pellucidum and increased ventricular size, followed by fetal MRI, add to the early detection of this malformation.
