Popis: Colpocephaly is very rare disease characterized by dilatation of the posterior horns of the lateral ventricle of the brain with normal anterior horns. Isolated colpocephaly without other neurological manifestations extremely rare. Previously reported cases usually diagnosed prenatal by ultrasound or in early childhood when the patient presents with delayed mile stones, seizures, mental retardation, motor and sensory deficit (1).
