ABSTRACT

Aicardi syndrome is a rare neurological disorder diagnosed at an early age with the help from radiology imaging. Therefore, the sooner it is diagnosed, the sooner the interventions can be beneficial. However, as with mood disorders, it too has a spectrum of symptoms and can cause delays in treatments. In the following case report, a 26-year-old female’s neurological symptoms were misdiagnosed as symptoms of Schizophrenia. Through this case report, the goal is to highlight the pathway to diagnose and treat an individual.
