Summary
Stereoscopic magnetic resonance (SMR) revealed distinct metabolite changes in a child with hemimegalencephaly (HM), correlating with neuronal loss and gliosis. This advanced imaging aids in diagnosing HM and guiding treatment.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neuroimaging
- Pathology
Background:
- Hemimegalencephaly (HM) is a rare brain malformation involving unilateral cerebral overgrowth.
- It is often associated with pachygyria, neuronal loss, and gliosis.
- This study investigates HM using advanced neuroimaging techniques.
