Temporal epilepsy in an adult due to complex malformation of cortical development [PDF]
We present the case of a 26 years right-handed old female with partial complex seizures due to a complex right temporo-parietal region with nodular heterotopia, polymicrogyria.

Neuroanatomical Alterations in the CNTNAP2 Mouse Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with neurodevelopmental alterations, including atypical forebrain cellular organization. Mutations in several ASD-related genes often result in cerebral cortical anomalies, such as the abnormal developmental ...

Polymicrogyria and deletion 22q11.2 syndrome: Window to the etiology of a common cortical malformation [PDF]
Several brain malformations have been described in rare patients with the deletion 22q11.2 syndrome (DEL22q11) including agenesis of the corpus callosum, pachygyria or polymicrogyria (PMG), cerebellar anomalies and meningomyelocele, with PMG reported ...

Mild malformations of cortical development in sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy due to KCNT1 mutations [PDF]
Mutations in the sodium-activated potassium channel gene KCNT1 have been associated with nonlesional sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (SHE). We report the co-occurrence of mild malformation of cortical development (mMCD) and KCNT1 mutations in four ...

The efficacy of ketogenic diet in childhood intractable epilepsywith malformation of cortical development [PDF]
Purpose: Malformation of cortical development(MCD) constitutes an important etiology of intractable epilepsy and is considered an indication for surgical treatments, though their efficacy is limited and variable depending on MCD's location or ...

Neuroimaging of septo-optic dysplasia-plus with midbrain hypoplasia and ophthalmoplegia
Septo-optic dysplasia is a rare brain malformation that can be associated with anomalous cortical development, such as schizencephaly, which is referred to as septo-optic dysplasia plus.

Convergent and Divergent Mechanisms of Epileptogenesis in mTORopathies
Hyperactivation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) due to mutations in genes along the PI3K-mTOR pathway and the GATOR1 complex causes a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders (termed mTORopathies) associated with malformation of

A Classification Scheme for Malformations of Cortical Development
Malformations of the cerebral cortex are being recognized more frequently as a cause of epilepsy, developmental delay, neurological deficits, and mental retardation. Nonetheless, a standard nomenclature and classification system of these malformations, based upon state-of-the art knowledge derived from genetics, embryology, imaging, and pathology, has ...

The changing landscape in epilepsy imaging: Unmasking subtle and unique entities
Dramatic changes have occurred recently in the field of epilepsy, including a fundamental shift in the etiology of epileptogenic substrates found at surgery. Hippocampal sclerosis is no longer the most common etiology found at epilepsy surgery and this
