MR of cerebellar cortical dysplasia.
MR imaging findings are described in four patients with cerebellar cortical dysplasia. Typically, cerebellar disorganized folia were seen as an irregular bumpy gray-white matter interface. In addition, cystlike cortical abnormalities were observed in two patients and associated supratentorial developmental abnormalities were seen in three patients. To our knowledge, cerebellar cortical dysplasia without supratentorial abnormalities, as seen in one patient, has not been reported before. We suggest that cerebellar cortical dysplasia represents a spectrum of abnormalities ranging from mild to extensive in severity.
