Tree Number(s): C10.500.507.500.500; C16.131.666.507.500.500
Unique ID: D065706
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D065706
Scope Note: Heterogeneous disorders of cortical malformation characterized by excessive and small fused gyri and shallow sulci of the CORTEX with abnormal cortical lamination. It is considered a malformation secondary to abnormal post-migrational development of the neurons during cerebral cortical development and is associated with EPILEPSY and learning difficulties.
