[Focal cortical dysplasia possibly related to a probable prenatal ischemic injury].
Focal cortical dysplasias are a frequent etiology of partial seizure disorders refractory to medical treatment. We report the case of a patient with focal cortical dysplasia, confirmed by surgery, in association with ischemic cerebral lesions that possibly occurred during the intra-uterine development. This observation reinforces the hypothesis of a possible factor of causality between prenatal ischemia and anomalies of cortical development.
