Septo-optic dysplasia (or de Morsier syndrome) is a congenital disorder characterised by anomalies in cerebral midline structures, optic nerve hypoplasia, and hormonal deficiencies. Diagnosis should be made early, due to the possibility of treating the hormonal disturbances. We describe here a case with decreased visual acuity, one-sided hemianopia, nystagmus und agenesis of the septum pellucidum and discuss the heterogeneous appearance of this syndrome. There are two theories regarding its pathogenesis. The first postulates simultaneous damage to both cerebral structures and optic nerve development around the 6th week of gestation, while the other favours secondary degeneration of optic nerve fibres due to a cerebral lesion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009900 Optic Nerve The 2nd cranial nerve which conveys visual information from the RETINA to the brain. The nerve carries the axons of the RETINAL GANGLION CELLS which sort at the OPTIC CHIASM and continue via the OPTIC TRACTS to the brain. The largest projection is to the lateral geniculate nuclei; other targets include the SUPERIOR COLLICULI and the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEI. Though known as the second cranial nerve, it is considered part of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
