Description : Polymicrogyria (PMG) is a malformation of cortical development in which the brain
surface is irregular and the normal gyral pattern replaced by multiple small, partly
fused gyri separated by shallow sulci. Microscopic examination shows a simplified
4-layered or unlayered cortex. Several patterns of PMG, including bilateral frontal,
bilateral perisylvian, and bilateral mesial occipital PMG, have been described on
the basis of their topographic distribution. All but the perisylvian form appear to
be rare. Bilateral perisylvian PMG (BPP) often results in a typical clinical syndrome
that is manifested by mild mental retardation, epilepsy, and pseudobulbar palsy, which
causes difficulties with expressive speech and feeding (Kuzniecky et al., 1993). PMG
may be a feature of other conditions as well (see, e.g., 300643).;
