    Author: Carvalho S, Brito O, Machado E, Santos N, Freitas PM, Bento C, Santana I, Sales F, Martins F.
    Journal: Acta Med Port; 2001; 14(1):103-6. PubMed ID: 11321963.
    Abstract:
    This article reviews Malformations of Cortical Development (MCD) diagnosed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in a series of patients with epilepsy. This study spans a five year period. The frequency of these malformations was 7.1%. Most of these were focal or multifocal and the most common ones were polymicrogyria (35.3% of the patients), heterotopia (29.4%), and focal cortical dysplasia (29.4%). The frontal lobes were the most frequently affected regions. The various MCD encountered reflect the wide spectrum of MCD leading to epilepsy.
