Bilateral Frontal Polymicrogyria - An Autopsy Case Report -
Polymicrogyria, which is characterized by an excessive number of small gyri with abnormal cortical lamination, is a common malformation of cerebral cortical development. The incidence of polymicrogyria is unknown. The diagnosis of polymicrogyria is being made more frequently due to advances in magnetic resonance imaging. Several region-specific bilateral polymicrogyria syndromes have been descr...
متن کاملNeuropathology of brain and spinal malformations in a case of monosomy 1p36
Monosomy 1p36 is the most common subtelomeric chromosomal deletion linked to mental retardation and seizures. Neuroimaging studies suggest that monosomy 1p36 is associated with brain malformations including polymicrogyria and nodular heterotopia, but the histopathology of these lesions is unknown. Here we present postmortem neuropathological findings from a 10 year-old girl with monosomy 1p36, ...
متن کاملSyndromes of bilateral symmetrical polymicrogyria.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A number of anatomicoclinical syndromes have been described in which bilateral symmetrical polymicrogyria is the underlying morphologic abnormality. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical, epileptic, and morphologic manifestations of bilateral symmetrical polymicrogyria in 21 patients to determine whether certain areas are at particular risk for these syndromes. METHO...
متن کاملGPR56 regulates pial basement membrane integrity and cortical lamination.
GPR56 is a member of the family of adhesion G-protein-coupled receptors that have a large extracellular region containing a GPS (G-protein proteolytic site) domain. Loss-of-function mutations in the GPR56 gene cause a specific human brain malformation called bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria (BFPP). BFPP is a radiological diagnosis and its histopathology remains unclear. This study demons...
متن کاملGenetics of the polymicrogyria syndromes.
Polymicrogyria is a relatively common malformation of cortical development, characterised by multiple small gyri with abnormal cortical lamination. The different forms of polymicrogyria encompass a wide range of clinical, aetiological, and histological findings. Advances in imaging have improved the diagnosis and classification of the condition. The molecular basis of polymicrogyria is beginnin...
