Commentary on “Megalencephaly-capillary malformation-polymicrogyria syndrome: the first case report in Korea”

چکیده
Megalencephaly-capillary malformation-polymicrogyria syndrome (MCAP), previously known as macrocephaly-cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita and macrocephaly-capillary malformation syndrome, is a rare multiple-malformation syndrome that is characterized by progressive megalencephaly, capillary malformations of the midline face and body, or distal limb anomalies such as syndactyly. Herein, we report a female infant case that satisfies the recently proposed criteria of MCAP and describe the distinctive neuroradiological and morphological features. We have also reviewed recently published reports and the diagnostic criteria proposed by various authors in order to facilitate the clinical diagnosis of these children in pediatric neurology clinics.

Megalencephaly and perisylvian polymicrogyria with postaxial polydactyly and hydrocephalus (MPPH): report of a new case.
Megalencephaly (MEG), or enlargement of the brain, can either represent a familial variant with normal cerebral structure, or a rare brain malformation associated with developmental delay and neurological problems. MEG has been split into two subtypes: anatomical and metabolic. The latter features a build-up inside the cells owing to metabolic causes. Anatomical MEG has been detected in many di...
متن کاملSyndrome of megalencephaly, polydactyly, and polymicrogyria lacking frank hydrocephalus, with associated MR imaging findings.
Megalencephaly, polymicrogyria, polydactyly, and hydrocephalus (MPPH) syndrome has been recently recognized and is very rare. Each case reported so far has demonstrated hydrocephalus to varying degrees. We report an infant with MPPH syndrome, but lacking frank hydrocephalus. The additional finding of an abnormally elongated pituitary infundibulum has not been described in this syndrome and, alo...
متن کاملPrenatal and postnatal evaluation of polymicrogyria with band heterotopia
The coexistence of band heterotopia and polymicrogyria is extremely rare though it has been reported in the presence of corpus callosum anomalies and megalencephaly. We present prenatal and postnatal MRI findings of a rare case of diffuse cortical malformation characterized by polymicrogyria and band heterotopia. Agenesis of the corpus callosum and megalencephaly were also noted. In addition, b...
متن کاملBilateral Frontal Polymicrogyria - An Autopsy Case Report -
Polymicrogyria, which is characterized by an excessive number of small gyri with abnormal cortical lamination, is a common malformation of cerebral cortical development. The incidence of polymicrogyria is unknown. The diagnosis of polymicrogyria is being made more frequently due to advances in magnetic resonance imaging. Several region-specific bilateral polymicrogyria syndromes have been descr...

Two megalencephaly (MEG) syndromes, megalencephaly-capillary malformation (MCAP) and megalencephaly-polymicrogyriapolydactyly-hydrocephalus (MPPH), have recently been defined on the basis of physical and neuroimaging features. Subsequently, exome sequencing of ten MEG cases identified de-novo postzygotic mutations in PIK3CA which cause MCAP and de-novo mutations in AKT and PIK3R2 which cause MP...
