HETEROTOPIA
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 45
Abstract
: common causes of epilepsy with the advent of modern high-resolution MR scanning. Among these, heterotopias are the most common developmental disorders in patients with epilepsy.1 Heterotopia is the name given to focal collections of ectopic neurons in the cerebral hemispheres, i.e. normal cells present in an abnormal location. It is believed to be the result of prematurely arrested radial neuronal migration. Here we are presenting a rare case of an adult male with epilepsy, found to be having heterotropias on MR scanning.
