RESUMO
The clinical triad of septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) comprises the abscence of the septum pellucidum, congenital optic nerve dysplasia, and multiple endocrine disorders. When any two of these factors are present, the condition is defined as an imcomplete form of SOD. The authors report the case of an imcomplete form of SOD in a 9-year old boy with low vision and nystagmus present from birth. The bilateral ophthalmoscopic examination revealed small papillae with double countour images. Magnetic resonance imaging showed hypoplasia of the optic nerve bilaterally, chiasm and absence of the septum pellucidum.
