Abstract

Introduction: Septo-optic dysplasia, a rare congenital condition, is defined by two out of three findings: 1) Midline brain defects, including agenesis of the septum pellucidum or corpus callosum; 2) Optic nerve hypoplasia; and 3) Endocrine deficiencies due to hypothalamic-pituitary abnormalities. Although genetic causes may be associated, most cases are sporadic and can be influenced by various environmental factors such as drug use, alcohol, and maternal age. Objective:To report a suspected case of septo-optic dysplasia and briefly review the clinical and imaging findings of the syndrome. Methods: Data were obtained through interviews, physical examination, expert opinions, complementary tests, and literature review. Final Considerations: This case sheds light on a rare disease that benefits from early diagnosis, as timely diagnoses can modify neurodevelopmental outcomes and life expectancy.
