In 1965 French pediatric neurologist and epileptologist [[https://icnapedia.org/news/professor-jean-aicardi-1926-2015|Jean Aicardi]] described 8 children with infantile spasm-in-flexion, total or partial agenesis of the corpus callosum, and variable ocular abnormalities[(:cite:aicardi>Aicardi J, Lefebvre J, Lerique-Koechlin A. A new syndrome: spasms in flexion, callosal agenesis, ocular abnormalities. Electroencephalogr Clin Neurophysiol 1965;19:609-610)]. Further 7 patients were described in 1969[(:cite:4314028>{{pubmed>long:4314028}})] and the name "Aicardi syndrome" was established in 1972, by Dennis and Bower[(:cite:4624502>{{pubmed>long:4624502}})]. | In 1965 French pediatric neurologist and epileptologist [[https://icnapedia.org/news/professor-jean-aicardi-1926-2015|Jean Aicardi]] described 8 children with infantile spasm-in-flexion, total or partial agenesis of the corpus callosum, and variable ocular abnormalities[(:cite:aicardi>Aicardi J, Lefebvre J, Lerique-Koechlin A.
