Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Developmental Neuroscience

Background:

  • Heterotopia is a congenital condition resulting from abnormal neuronal migration during fetal development.
  • It is typically diagnosed in childhood and associated with intellectual disability and epilepsy.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old male presented with no prior clinical history suggestive of heterotopia.
  • The case involved a two-year follow-up period.

Findings:

  • Neuroimaging and electroencephalographic studies were conducted over the follow-up period.
  • The findings confirmed a diagnosis of heterotopia in an adult without prior manifestations.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known clinical spectrum of heterotopia to include late-onset presentations.
  • It underscores the importance of considering heterotopia in adult epilepsy and neurological assessments.
  • Further research into adult-onset neuronal migration disorders is warranted.
