Polymicrogyria: a case detected by MRI.
We report a 3-year-old child affected by severe encephalopathy, partial seizures with early onset and microgyria whom polymicrogyria was detected by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We believe that MRI first allow an early and confident in vivo diagnosis of this severe and probably not so rare condition.
