Abstract

Vici syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive multisystemic disorder secondary to a mutation in the EPG5 gene. The syndrome is characterized by brain malformations, the most common being corpus callosum agenesis, followed by pontine hypoplasia, and white matter hypomyelination. Clinical findings may include cataract, developmental delay, seizures, feeding disorders, cardiomegaly, and recurrent infections due to immunodeficiency. This report familiarizes the radiologist with clinical and imaging findings in Vici syndrome.
