title: Bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria and epilepsy.
abstract: Two patients with bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria are reported. Severe developmental delay, mental retardation, spastic tetraplegia, and seizures were the main clinical features. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a bilateral thick cortex with irregular gyri and a festoonlike gray-white matter junction. Bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria may represent a further form of the bilateral polymicrogyria syndromes in addition to perisylvian and parasagittal parieto-occipital polymicrogyria.
