title: [Neuronal migration disorders. Radiological and clinical aspects].
abstract: Neuronal migration disorders can cause congenital cerebral malformations during the third and fourth months of gestation. They are usually classified as agyria, pachygyria, schizencephaly, polymicrogyria and heterotopic gray matter. The best diagnostic tool for detecting neuronal migration disorders is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Frequently, the migration disorders are associated with epilepsy, psychomotor retardation and cerebral palsy, and patients with these symptoms should always be investigated by cerebral MRI. In this article we discuss radiologic and clinical aspects in the case of six persons with different categories of migration disorders.
