Open and minimally open lips schizencephaly.
Two patients with isolated schizencephaly, a very rare congenital anomaly of the brain, who presented with epilepsy are presented. According to imaging morphology, there are two types of schizencephaly, 'open lip' and 'minimally open lip'. These two cases emphasize that while MRI is superior to CT in the diagnosis of congenital brain anomalies, schizencephaly can be diagnosed by its characteristic CT features.
