چکیده

MR imaging findings are described in four patients with cerebellar cortical dysplasia. Typically, cerebellar disorganized folia were seen as an irregular bumpy gray-white matter interface. In addition, cystlike cortical abnormalities were observed in two patients and associated supratentorial developmental abnormalities were seen in three patients. To our knowledge, cerebellar cortical dysplasia without supratentorial abnormalities, as seen in one patient, has not been reported before. We suggest that cerebellar cortical dysplasia represents a spectrum of abnormalities ranging from mild to extensive in severity.

Neuropathologic and MR imaging correlation in a neonatal case of cerebellar cortical dysplasia.

Little documentation of the correlation between MR imaging findings in isolated cerebellar cortical dysplasia (CCD) and its neuropathologic characteristics exists in the recent literature. We documented a postmortem neuropathologic study of a clinically and radiologically well-documented case of CCD in a neonate with severe hypotonia and status epilepticus. MR imaging revealed a global vermian ...
