What is Absence of the Septum Pellucidum?
septum pellucidum (SP) is a thin membrane located at the midline of the brain. Children who are born without this membraine and also have other abnormalities--pituitary deficiencies and abnormal development of the optic disk--have a disorder known as septo-optic dysplasia. Is there any treatment?
Absence of the SP alone is not a disorder but is instead a characteristic noted in children with septo-optic dysplasia.
What is the prognosis?
The prognosis for individuals with septo-optic dysplasia varies according to the presence and severity of symptoms
