Table 1 New classification system of focal cortical dysplasia by Blumcke et al. 2011
From: Diagnostic contribution of focal cortical dysplasia MRI imaging findings and ADC values
Type | Characteristic features |
|---|---|
I | • a—Focal cortical dysplasia with abnormal radial cortical lamination • b—Focal cortical dysplasia with abnormal tangential 6-layer cortical lamination • c—Focal cortical dysplasia with abnormal radial and tangential cortical lamination |
II | • a—Focal cortical dysplasia with dysmorphic neurons • b—Focal cortical dysplasia with dysmorphic neurons and balloon cells |
III | • a—Architectural distortion of cortical layer in temporal lobe with hippocampal atrophy • b—Architectural distortıon of cortical layer adjacent to glial or glioneuronal tumor • c—Architectural distortıon of cortical layer adjacent to vascular malformation • d—Architectural distortıon of cortical layer adjacent to other lesions acquired ın early childhood such as trauma, ischemıc event, encephalitis |
