Sublobar dysplasia—A clinicopathologic report after successful epilepsy surgery
Epilepsia, 10/27/09

Tuxhorn I et al. – The authors report the clinical presentation, neuroradiologic characteristics, and detailed histopathologic findings in a unique case of drug–resistant focal epilepsy due to sublobar dysplasia (SLD), treated successfully by resection of the malformed cortex. Histopathology with leptomeningeal and subcortical heterotopia, disturbance of cortical lamination and marked cortical and subcortical astrocytosis, but absence of balloon cells, points to a disorder of neuronal migration and organization rather than proliferation in SLD.
