چکیده
In a case of histologically proved focal cortical dysplasia, there was an absence of cortex-white matter delineation in the right parietooccipital area only on the T2-weighted images. This pattern correlated with the gross and histologic findings obtained on the resected cerebral tissue.

It is possible that repetitive epileptic spikes induce plastic changes in the cortex analogous to the changes observed following direct microstimulation. A child is reported with focal cortical dysplasia, intractable focal seizures, worsening hemiparesis, and alteration of the cortical mo...
