Different polymicrogyria patterns and associated anomalies in childhood: MRI findings

Abstract

Polymicrogyria is a developmental anomaly which has been diagnosed in recent years due to improvements in neuroimaging methods. It may present with very different clinical findings. It can be seen in many different patterns. It can be found with different nervous system anomalies. In this article, different polymicrogyria patterns and associated anomalies detected in childhood are presented with MRI findings.
