Correlations between clinical and neuropathological diagnosis of cortical anomalies in developmentally disabled children.
The capabilities and limitations of clinical diagnoses, particularly brain imaging of cortical anomalies, in developmentally disabled children are reviewed. Some aspects of diagnostic problems in generalized cortical dysgeneses, like lissencephaly type I and II, subcortical heterotopias, generalized polymicrogyria, or focal cortical anomalies and primary micrencephalies, are discussed.
