title: [The pathogenesis of cerebral malformations].
abstract: Although data on the true incidence of brain malformation pathologies do not exist in Italy, such pathology is nevertheless becoming a question of current debate thanks to new neuroradiological and contrastographic techniques. For some of these brain malformations the time when the agent causes the anomalies and the various causative agents have been well identified, whether materno-foetal in origin or multifactorial. Subjects with brain malformations must be followed-up clinically with instrumental tests.
