Schizencephaly is a congenital brain malformation, which is part of the group of neuronal migration disorders, which has a prevalence of 1,54/100 000 in live births, which is why it is considered extremely rare in Colombia. The objective of this article is to present a case of open-lip fetal schizencephaly, the subtype with the worst prognosis, whose suspected diagnosis is made with prenatal ultrasound and confirmed by fetal magnetic resonance imaging. Currently, this type of report is not available in Colombia.
