Hemimegalencephaly: a longitudinal MR study

S M Wolpert et al. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 1994 Sep.

Abstract

An infant with hemimegalencephaly was studied with MR at 5 days and again at 10 months of age. The initial scan showed an abnormally large left cerebral hemisphere. At the age of 10 months, the left cerebral hemisphere was smaller than the right--an apparent left-sided micrencephaly caused by normal growth of the right hemisphere and arrested growth of the left. The age of imaging of a patient with hemimegalencephaly can be important if the correct diagnosis is to be made.
