Abstract

Septo - Optic Dysplasia (SOD) also known as De Morsier Syndrome, is a rare medical condition, the diagnosis of which is made when there are two or more characteristics of the classic triad. The triad consists of optic nerve hypoplasia, pituitary hormone abnormalities, and midline brain defects. We present the case of a 15-year-old boy with a history of seizures and optic nerve disease that was diagnosed with septo-optic dysplasia with characteristic imaging findings.
