VELOSO MARINO, Barbara Maria; IGLESIAS MONAGA, Osdaldo Lázaro; AMARO GARRIDO, Miguel Ángel e FERRER VELOSO, Beatriz. Cavum septum pellucidum and cavum vergae persistence associated with psychomotor retardation. Case report. Gac Méd Espirit [online]. 2024, vol.26 Epub 21-Fev-2024. ISSN 1608-8921.
Background:
Two out of the three forms in which intracranial anterior midline cysts present are: These usually disappear after birth; if they persist, they are often asymptomatic, but may also be associated with obstructive manifestations, psychotic disorders or neurodevelopmental disorders that require clinical follow up.
Objective:
To report a case of a 6-month-old patient with persistence of embryonic period structures in possible association with psychomotor developmental retardation.
Case presentation:
Because of how infrequent it is in practice, a case of a 6-month-old patient with a persistent cavum septum pellucidum and cavum vergae is reported in which the possible association of neurodevelopmental delay with the persistence of these structures is pointed out. The diagnosis was made in an early manner and it was timely intervened.
Conclusions:
The case presentation provided epidemiological evidences that encourage the possible association among the persistence of these embryonic structures and psychomotor developmental retardation.
