Clinical and Morphological Aspects of Gray Matter Heterotopia Type Developmental Malformations
BACKGROUND Gray matter heterotopia (GMH) is a malformation of the central nervous system characterized by interruption of normal neuroblasts migration between the 7(th) and 16(th) week of fetal development. The aim of the study was the analysis of clinical symptoms, prevalence rate and the most common concurrent central nervous system (CNS) developmental disorders as well as assessment of chara...
متن کاملCauses and consequences of gray matter heterotopia.
The objective of this article is to review the pathophysiological bases of gray matter heterotopia and to appreciate their involvement in brain cortical development and functional consequences, namely epilepsy. The development of the cerebral cortex results from complex sequential processes including cell proliferation, cell migration, cortical organization, and formation of neuronal networks. ...
متن کاملAbnormal structural and functional brain connectivity in gray matter heterotopia.
PURPOSE Periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH) is a malformation of cortical development associated with epilepsy and dyslexia. Evidence suggests that heterotopic gray matter can be functional in brain malformations and that connectivity abnormalities may be important in these disorders. We hypothesized that nodular heterotopia develop abnormal connections and systematically investigated the...
متن کاملMorphological and functional aspects of progenitors perturbed in cortical malformations
In this review, we discuss molecular and cellular mechanisms important for the function of neuronal progenitors during development, revealed by their perturbation in different cortical malformations. We focus on a class of neuronal progenitors, radial glial cells (RGCs), which are renowned for their unique morphological and behavioral characteristics, constituting a key element during the devel...
متن کاملConjoined Twins: Developmental Malformations and Clinical Implications
This book represents many years of dedicated study by a respected pediatric surgeon with a passionate interest in conjoined twinning. Her extensive clinical experience and unparalleled familiarity with 20th century case reports led me to expect a superb treatise on clinical and anatomical aspects of this subject. It was disappointing to find the book to be centered primarily upon her controvers...
