An unusual presentation of focal cortical dysplasia

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 1995 Apr;16(4 Suppl):840-2.

Abstract

In a case of histologically proved focal cortical dysplasia, there was an absence of cortex-white matter delineation in the right parietooccipital area only on the T2-weighted images. This pattern correlated with the gross and histologic findings obtained on the resected cerebral tissue.
