Focal cortical dysplasia of Taylor's balloon cell type: Mutational analysis of the <i>TSC1</i> gene indicates a pathogenic relationship to tuberous sclerosis
18 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is characterized by a localized malformation of the neocortex and underlying white matter. Balloon cells, similar to those observed in tuberous sclerosis, are present in many cases (FCD(bc)). In these patients, a hyperintense funnel-shaped subcortical lesion tapering toward the lateral ventricle was the characteristic finding on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance...
