EEG and neuroimaging correlations in children with lissencephaly
PURPOSE To study the usefulness of EEG in the diagnosis of lissencephaly, a rare cortical developmental disorder associated with abnormal cellular proliferation. Currently, the clinical emphasis is placed on the radiological and genetic aspects for the diagnosis of lissencephaly. METHODS This is a retrospective review of consecutive EEG recordings and imaging data from 14 children, with the d...
متن کاملLissencephaly in a Pekingese
A 1-year-old neutered male Pekingese was presented for evaluation and further treatment of cluster seizures. The dog had behavioral abnormalities, and a prosencephalic lesion was suspected following neurological examination. The dog showed signs of learning difficulty. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed a remarkably smooth cerebral cortex with a reduced number of gyri, as well as ...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor imaging in lissencephaly.
Lissencephaly is a rare brain malformation characterized histologically by arrested neuronal migration such that the brain resembles that of a fetus before 23-24 weeks gestation. We studied a neonate with lissencephaly by using diffusion tensor imaging and suggest the dysplastic densely cellular layer IV is visible as a band of anisotropic diffusion. Fiber tracking showed lack of connectivity b...
متن کاملLissencephaly - A Brain Flawed
We present a case report of a twelve-day old child suffering from seizures, in which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) established the diagnosis of Lissencephaly. Although the causes of this disease entity are manifold, MRI can reveal stigmata of antenatal maternal infections in the child. In such a scenario, cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important offender. In this article we discuss the pathogen...
متن کاملINDIAN PEDIATRICS Lissencephaly
Lissencephaly means smooth brain, i.e., brain without convolutions or gyri. Miller in (1963) and later Dieker in 1969 described a specific pattern of malfor mations, one feature of which was lissencephaly(l,2). They emphasized that this should be called lissencephaly syndrome because of the association of polydactyly, unusual facial appearanc es, malformation of the heart, kidneys and other org...
