Cortical dysplasias are developmental brain malformations linked to epilepsy. Advanced neuroimaging aids in diagnosing these conditions and understanding their impact on neurological function.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental neuroscience
  • Neuroradiology
  • Clinical neurology

Context:

  • Cortical dysplasias represent a range of congenital malformations of the cerebral cortex.
  • These developmental abnormalities are frequently associated with neurological conditions such as epilepsy and intellectual disability.
  • Recent advancements in neuroimaging have significantly improved the in vivo diagnosis and characterization of cortical dysplasias.

Purpose:

  • To review the underlying causes (etiology) of cortical dysplasias.
  • To discuss the clinical presentations and neuroimaging features of these malformations.
  • To outline the prognosis of epilepsy associated with cortical dysplasias.

Summary:

  • Cortical dysplasias are developmental disorders of the cerebral cortex.
