Article Excerpts about Septo-Optic Dysplasia
Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) is a rare disorder
characterized by abnormal development of the optic disk, pituitary
deficiencies, and often agenesis (absence) of the septum pellucidum (the
part of the brain that separates the anterior horns or the lateral
ventricles of the brain).
(Source: excerpt from NINDS Septo-Optic Dysplasia Information Page: NINDS)
Definitions of Septo-Optic Dysplasia:
A condition resulting from congenital malformations involving the brain. The syndrome of septo-optic dysplasia combines hypoplasia or agenesis of the SEPTUM PELLUCIDUM and the OPTIC NERVE. The extent of the abnormalities can vary. Septo-optic dysplasia is often associated with abnormalities of the hypothalamic and other diencephalic structures, and HYPOPITUITARISM.
