Conclusion: As one of the most common types of developmental cortical malformations, polymicrogyria can be seen in patients who are presented with clinical findings, such as epilepsy, mental motor retardation and spasticity and polymicrogyria may present [scopemed.org]

The most common clinical presentation is intractable seizures. Heterotopia present as nodular foci of grey matter intensity on all sequences. They do not enhance. Heterotopia Images of a typical subependymal heterotopia. [radiologyassistant.nl]

• Severe Clinical Course

  Not surprisingly, patients with more extensive cortical involvement seemed to have the most severe clinical course. [ajnr.org]

• Retinal Pigmentation

  There was diffuse retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy with tessellated background, arteriolar attenuation, and choroidal sclerosis in both the eyes [Figure 1] g. There were no RPE clumps or bony spicules. [annalsofian.org]
