Cat-Scan and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging in abnormalities of neuronal migration
- 1. Universitaire Ziekenhuizen K.U., Leuven (Belgium)
Description
This is a report of the CAT-scan and MRI characteristics in 14 patients with anomalies of neuronal migration. There were 3 cases of heterotopia of the gray matter, 2 cases of agyria, 3 cases of pachygyria, 2 cases of schizencephaly and 4 cases of hemimegalencephaly. The primary advantages of MRI in comparison with CAT-scanning, are better contrast between the white and gray matter; better delineation of the cerebral cortex and the possibility of direct mutiplanar imaging. NMRI will become the investigation of choice in children with epilepsy or psychomotor retardation
Abstract (French)
Les caracteristiques T.D.M. et I.R.M. chez 14 malades presentant des anomalies de la migration neuronale sont rapportees. Il s'agit de 3 cas d'heterotopie de la substance grise, 2 cas d'agyrie, 3 cas de pachygyrie, 2 cas de schizencephalie et 4 cas d'hemimegalencephalie. Les principaux avantages de l'IRM par rapport a la TDM sont le meilleur contraste entre la substance blanche et grise; la meilleure delimitation du cortex cerebral et la possibilite d'une imagerie multiplanaire directe. L'IRM deviendra l'examen de choix chez les enfants se presentant avec une epilepsie ou un retard psychomoteurAdditional details
