Introduction: Infantile spasms may occur in isolation or as part of multiple neurodevelopmental syndromes. We report an eight-month-old female infant presenting with infantile spasms, developmental delay, and characteristic features of Aicardi syndrome. Electroencephalogram (EEG) showed asynchronous multifocal epileptiform abnormalities, while brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) demonstrated corpus callosum agenesis, midline cysts, cortical malformations, and posterior fossa anomalies. Ophthalmoscopy confirmed chorioretinal lacunae. Brain MRI and EEG remain crucial complementary modalities for early diagnosis of infantile spasms and underlying aetiologies. This case reinforces consideration of Aicardi syndrome in female infants presenting with spasms and characteristic ocular findings.
