We report on a 27-year-old patient with schizencephaly in the right frontal lobe (cingulate cortex lesion and secondary orbitofrontal cortex dysfunction) presenting with prominent borderline features and compromise of executive functions, decision-making and attention. We hypothesize that the personality disorder of our patient could be related to cingulate cortex lesion and secondary orbitofrontal cortex dysfunction associated with schizencephaly.en-USSchizencephalyImpulsivityBorderline personalityOrbitofrontal cortexCingulate cortexArtigo publicado em periodicoO periódico Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery concede permissão para depósito deste artigo no Repositório Institucional da UFOP.
