Abstract :

Abstract MRI is an invaluable component of the pediatric seizure evaluation.  Of the differential diagnosis, the migration abnormality can be among the most challenging to establish.  This novel paper demonstrates the benefit of the gradient echo sequence in detecting cortical thickening and establishing the diagnosis of pachygyria.  The submission is approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, in accordance with Mount Sinai’s Federal Wide Assurances.
