Electroencephalography (EEG) showed sharp and spike wave in right temporoparietooccipital, frontocentrotemporal and centroparietal region. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a cleft in right frontal lobe extending to the right lateral ventricle classified as open-lip schizencephaly, and an agenesis of septum pellucidum leads to monoventricular features, and polymicrogyria.
