Pictorial review: MR imaging of neuronal migration anomalies.
Neuronal migration anomalies form a spectrum of congenital brain malformations with a variety of clinical manifestations. The widespread use of MRI in the investigation of neurological symptoms, and particularly in the imaging of epilepsy, has made the correct recognition and interpretation of these disorders important. This pictorial summary describes the typical clinical features and the MR appearances of this group of conditions. For a more detailed review which includes pathological correlation, the reader should refer to an excellent article by Barkovitch and colleagues (Barkovitch A.J., Gressens P, Evrard P.
