Abstract

The septo-optic dysplasia, or de Morsier syndrome is a developmental anomaly characterized by involvement of the septum pellucidum, optic system and hypothalamic-pituitary axis. We had experienced a case of septo-optic dysplasia in 8 month-old female. A magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed isolated absent septum pellucidum. And ophthalmoscopic examination showed right optic nerve hypoplasia, exotropia of right eye.
