Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are macroscopic or microscopic
abnormalities of the cerebral cortex that arise as a consequence of an interruption to the …

Genetic studies have identified several of the genes associated with malformations of
cortical development which might disrupt each of the main stages of cell proliferation and …

Purpose: To report three patients with drug‐resistant nocturnal hypermotor seizures (NHSs),
no detectable brain lesion, and clinically defined nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE) or …

Objective: To determine the types, relative frequencies, clinical features, and MRI
characteristics of malformations of cortical development (MCD) occurring in a cohort of …

Malformations of cortical development (MCD) are responsible for many cases of refractory
epilepsy in adults and children. The results of surgical treatment are difficult to assess from …

Occipital epilepsies often elude diagnosis as they frequently masquerade as other seizure
syndromes. Visual hallucinations are the key clinical symptoms indicating an occipital focus …

Malformations of cortical development (MCD) are important causes of chronic epilepsy in
human beings. A blanket term, MCD encompasses many varied developmental disorders …

We present the results of a retrospective study on 10 patients operated on for intractable
epilepsy associated with nodular heterotopia as identified by high resolution MRI. Seven …

High-resolution MRI can detect dual pathology (an extrahippocampal lesion plus
hippocampal atrophy) in about 5–20% of patients with refractory partial epilepsy referred for …

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) surgery has benefited from several important advances during
the past 2 decades, thanks to the development of neuroimaging and the identification of …
