delayed and have delayed speech and language skills and corticospinal
dysfunction. Individuals with smaller, unilateral clefts (clefts in only
one hemisphere) are often paralyzed on one side of the body and may have
normal intelligence. Patients with schizencephaly may also have varying
degrees of microcephaly (abnormally small head), mental retardation,
hemiparesis or quadriparesis (partial or complete paralysis), and reduced
muscle tone (hypotonicity). Most patients have seizures. Some may have
hydrocephalus.
