Septo-optic dysplasia and associations with amyoplasia and gastroschisis.
BACKGROUND
The causes of septo-optic dysplasia, amyoplasia, and gastroschisis are mostly unknown.


METHODS
We present a patient with septo-optic dysplasia and amyoplasia. We also present a patient with features of septo-optic dysplasia, gray matter heterotopias, and gastroschisis.


CONCLUSIONS
These previously unreported combinations provide further support for vascular disruption in embryonic or fetal life as an etiological factor in these conditions.
