  • Title: Megalencephaly-Capillary Malformation-Polymicrogyria Syndrome (MCAP): A Rare Dynamic Genetic Disorder.
    Author: Sarma K, Nayak MK, Mishra B, Gaikwad SB.
    Journal: Cureus; 2022 May; 14(5):e25123. PubMed ID: 35733479.
    Abstract:
    Megalencephaly-capillary malformation-polymicrogyria syndrome (MCAP) is an uncommon malformation syndrome, characterized by primary megalencephaly, capillary malformations of the midline face and body, or distal limb anomalies such as syndactyly and polymicrogyria. Herein, we report a young male child, who presented with complaints of increasing head size, delay in speech, and one episode of focal seizure with distinctive morphological and neuroradiological manifestations which led to the diagnosis of MCAP. We have also reviewed recently published literature and the various diagnostic criteria proposed by authors to achieve the early clinical diagnosis of these patients in the outpatient department.
