Frequent malformations of brain development: how can we find them?

Dedicated epilepsy MRI and pattern recognition can reveal common malformations of brain development.

Description

Epilepsy-focused imaging technique, hippocampal assessment, and structural causes of seizures in children and adults form the diagnostic foundation. The emphasis is on recognising malformations of cortical development, associated dual pathology, and relevant phacomatoses within a systematic MRI review.

Learning Objectives

  • Apply a dedicated epilepsy MRI protocol to search for subtle developmental abnormalities.
  • Recognise common malformations of cortical development and associated dual pathology.
  • Assess the hippocampus and identify phacomatosis-related imaging patterns.
