Epidemiology of septo-optic dysplasia with focus on prevalence and maternal age - A EUROCAT study

This is the first population based study to describe the prevalence of septo-optic dysplasia in Europe. Septo-optic dysplasia shares epidemiological patterns with gastroschisis and this strengthens the hypothesis of vascular disruption being an aetiological factor for septo-optic dysplasia.
