Abstract
Advances in diagnostic imaging techniques, particularly magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, have permitted the recognition of developmental malformations of the central nervous system with a high degree of accuracy (Barth, 1987; Friede, 1989; Byrd et al., 1989; Barkovich and Kjos, 1992). Recent clinico-radiological correlative studies have demonstrated the broad spectrum of these malformations and have contributed to the recognition that some of these disorders have common pathogenic mechanisms (Graff-Radford et al., 1986; Kuzniecky et al., 1988; Palmini et al, 1991; Barkovich and Kjos, 1992a,b).
