Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(7):999-1003.   Published online July 15, 1997
The “band heterotopia” or “double cortex” is a brain anomaly that is presumed to result from a premature arrest of neuronal migration. Generalized disorders of neuronal migration to the cerebral cortex have been recognized since the end of the 19th century. Recently, development of neuroimaging technique, such as MRI, have permitted easy diagnosis of generalized neuronal migration disorder. This syndrome is prevalent in females. Most...
