About Schiz Kidz Buddies – Schizencephaly Support Group

The Schiz Kidz Buddies – Schizencephaly Support Group is a web site for parents, other family members, physicians, therapists, and friends of children born with schizencephaly. Schizencephaly is a rare brain malformation due to improper development of the cerebral hemispheres of the brain during embryonic growth (neuronal dysmigration). Affected infants and children may have variable symptoms that may include seizure disorders, developmental delays, mental retardation, visual impairment, eating difficulties, and/or other symptoms. The Schizencephaly Support Group’s web site provides general information on the condition, a variety of online networking opportunities, and dynamic links to additional sources of helpful information on the Internet.
