BACKGROUND--Lissencephaly (agyria-pachygyria) is a defect in migration of cerebral neurons resulting in failure of cortical gyri to develop. Progress in imaging techniques improves its diagnosis. POPU...
The CT and MRI manifestations of pachygyria and agyria are presented with a review of the pathological features of the disorders and an evaluation of the diagnostic value of both imaging modalities. 1...
Lissencephaly (agyria or smooth brain) is a rare congenital anomaly representing an arrest of brain development before the third or fourth month of gestational age. It may occur alone or in associatio...
1H-NMR spectroscopy was performed on a 6-month-old boy with pachygyria. A MRI study demonstrated an abnormally thick cortex localized in the right occipital lobe. 1H-NMR spectrums were collected from ...
A retrospective study of 40 children with some form of pachygyria was performed at the Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago. All 40 children had MR brain scans. We analyzed the MR findings, and cor...
