Malformations of cortical development.
Malformations of cortical development are an important cause of developmental delay and epilepsy. Proper identification of these malformations can greatly help in accurately counseling affected families and, in some cases, in the treatment of the epilepsy. Modem neuroimaging is an important tool in the diagnosis of these malformations.
