Descriptor polimicrogiria
Scope note: Trastornos heterogéneos de una malformación cortical, caracterizados por la proliferación de pequeñas circunvoluciones [o giros] fusionadas y cisuras poco profundas del CORTEZA CEREBRAL con una laminación cortical anómala. Se considera una malformación secundaria a un desarrollo post-migratorio anormal de las neuronas durante el desarrollo de la corteza cerebral, y está asociada con EPILEPSIA y dificultad para el aprendizaje.

Scope note: Heterogeneous disorders of cortical malformation characterized by excessive and small fused gyri and shallow sulci of the CORTEX with abnormal cortical lamination. It is considered a malformation secondary to abnormal post-migrational development of the neurons during cerebral cortical development and is associated with EPILEPSY and learning difficulties.
