title: A rare case of cerebral cortical dysplasia with arterial vascular dysplasia.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Cortical dysplasias are rarely associated with vascular anomalies. They are usually associated with venous anomalies or in few cases with both arterial and venous anomalies.
  
  
  METHODS
  Twenty-six year old female presented with history of headache showed cortical dysplasia associated with pure arterial dysplasia in the absence of any associated venous anomaly.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  An abnormal arterial supply to or an abnormal venous drainage from the growing cortex may result in cortical rearrangements that eventually give rise to various neuronal migration anomalies.
