Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most common vertically transmitted disease with the rate of the infection ranging from 0.2 to 2.4% in newborn infants. Congenital CMV infection causes multiorgan affection, but the most severe and permanent sequelae are those affecting central nervous system such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy, sensorineural hearing loss, chorioretinitis ...

Septo-optic dysplasia also referred to as de Morsier syndrome and is a disorder of early brain development. Three characteristic features are under development (hypoplasia) of the optic nerve, abnormal formation of structures along the midline of the brain (such as absence of septum pellucidum and corpus callosum dysgenesis) and pituitary hypoplasia. CASE REPORT Female, born at 40 weeks of gest...

Malformations of cortical development are classified on the basis of imaging features and stages of cortical development. They are grouped by causes of the malformation: abnormal glial and neuronal proliferation, abnormal neuronal migration and abnormal cortical organisation. Focal or multifocal and generalised forms are recognised in each of these groups. In the first group, generalised forms ...

Objective To describe the anatomical structures that form the anterior (AC) and posterior (PC) complexes of the fetal brain and to categorize their anomalies in fetuses with cerebral abnormalities. Methods We analyzed retrospectively volume datasets from 100 normal fetuses between 20 and 30 weeks’ gestation. On the axial transventricular plane, our analysis of the AC included the interhemispher...

INTRODUCTION Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are increasingly recognized as important cause of epilepsy, especially refractory epilepsy. In developing countries like India, where the facilities for sophisticated imaging are not easily accessible to all, the prevalence and the types of cortical malformations are largely unknown. Hence this preliminary study has been undertaken to ex...

We read a case report by Manghera et al (JAPI, Vol 62 page No. 76-67), which was in response to an earlier case report by Ola et al.1 Here we would like to share our experience and views as under- The authors in the correspondence have said that crossed cerebellar atrophy is an unusual and rare finding. We in our study of 28 patients of DDMS, have found cerebellar atrophy in nine patients along...

Encephalocele is a mesodermal defect in the skull bones and duramater. Parietal encephalocele is a rare congenital anomaly of newborn with variable prognostic value. The authors report a case of a very large inter parietal encephalocele with no associated other system malformations. A midline inter parietal encephalocele is much rare, earlier reported cases were posterior parietal in location. ...
