Double Cortex Syndrome (Subcortical Band Heterotopia): A Case Report

Objective Approximately 5-10% of preschool age children are considered developmentally disabled. Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a key role in the diagnostic evaluation in these children. Many congenital or acquired brain anomalies are revealed with MRIs. Although the majority of these abnormalities are sporadic but patients with subcortical band heterotopia or double cortex syndro...

FDG PETCT in colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer represents the second most common malignancy worldwide, with approximately one million newly diagnosed cases each year, and is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality. This article provides an overview of the role of FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) PET (positron emission tomography) CT (computed tomography) for assessment in patients with colorectal cancer. A summary of key lear...

Unusual MRI appearance of diffuse subcortical heterotopia or "double cortex" in two children.

Two children with mild epilepsy and learning and behaviour problems had magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans showing an almost identical generalised disorders of neuronal migration. Their computer tomography (CT) scans showed abnormal hypodense white matter. The MRI showed a four layered appearance of the cerebral parenchyma extending from the frontal to the occipital region. There was a norm...
