Abstract Malformations of cortical development are rarely diagnosed in utero. Cortical malformations aberrations the process corticogenesis. We report two rare and unique cases evolving malformation with unusual ultrasonogram markers: (1) narrow cavum septum pellucidum (2) ill-defined irregular lateral ventricular borders on midtrimester anomaly scan. This was further confirmed by fetal brain e...

According to some studies, the number of addicted females in reproductive ages has been increased. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of oral morphine consumption on the development of CNS and body growth in rats. For this purpose, female Sprauge-Dawley rats were divided into control and experimental groups (20 animals in each group). Maintenance dose of morphine (0/4 mg/m...
