1. Bilateral opercular polymicrogyria.
Bilateral opercular polymicrogyria. Coronal T1 weighted magnetic resonance image. These bilateral abnormalities (arrows) are relatively subtle and were not identified on a computed tomographic examination. In the first year of life this boy developed right sided seizures and development was delayed, particularly in language. Later he had poor tongue and pharyngeal coordination and a right hemiplegia. Despite the lateralisation of some of his neurological signs, the scan abnormalities were bilateral.
