Neuroimaging features comparing lobar versus septopreoptic HPE
Lobar | Septopreoptic | |
---|---|---|
Cortical nonseparation | Basal frontal | Septal and preoptic regions |
CC | Rostrum and genu absent; anterior body variably present; splenium present | Rostrum absent or hypoplastic; genu hypoplastic; body and splenium present |
Anterior interhemispheric fissure and falx | Hypoplastic anteriorly | Fairly deep IHF |
Ventricles | Rudimentary frontal horns; third ventricle formed | Normal or small frontal horns; third ventricle formed |
Dorsal cyst | Absent | Absent |
SP | Absent | Present or dysplastic, rarely absent |
Hypothalamus | Often fused to some degree (83%) | Anterior hypothalamus often fused |
Cerebral vasculature | Azygous anterior cerebral artery (more anteriorly displaced) | Azygous anterior cerebral artery (more posteriorly placed) |
