The best treatment options for people with schizencephaly depend on many factors, including the severity of the condition and the signs and symptoms present.
Medications are often prescribed to prevent seizures. In cases that are complicated by hydrocephalus, a surgically implanted tube, called a shunt, is often used to divert fluid to another area of the body.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
