[MR in the evaluation of schizencephaly].
This study was aimed at evaluating MR utility in the diagnosis of schizencephaly in patients with seizures and developmental delay. In 7 patients, 8 months to 15 years old, MR imaging detected the presence of unilateral (5 cases) and bilateral (2 cases) hemisferic clefts. Moreover, MR imaging allowed the presence of such anomalies as dysgenesis of the corpus callosum, and agenesis of the septum pellucidum to be demonstrated, together with areas of polymicrogyria and heterotopic gray matter.
