Abstract:
Migration disorders of foetal neurons are rare conditions which are normally diagnosed after birth and may be followed by severe alterations of neurological development. We describe a case of foetal hemilateral polymicrogyria in combination with hemihypoplasia of the brain, the symptoms of which were diagnosed in the 23rd week of pregnancy, leading to termination of pregnancy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of antenatal diagnosis of this disorder by vaginal sonography.
