Focal Cortical Dysplasia. This is an abnormality in fetal development in which the normal migration of nerve cells is altered. It can cause very severe epilepsy that is difficult to treat.
Some children are born with structural brain anomalies such as cortical dysplasia or polymicrogyria.
Cortical Dysplasia: Cortical dysplasia is an abnormal development of part of the cortex of the brain, which often leads to a seizure condition in children.
It provides better resolution of brain tumors and abscesses and can detect cortical dysplasias, cerebral venous thrombosis, and herpes encephalitis.
Intracranial anomalies include callosal hypogenesis (Fig.1) (typically associated with interhemispheric cysts), grey matter heterotopia, cortical dysplasia, posterior fossa cysts, cerebellar hypoplasia, choroid plexus papillomas, and microphthalmia.

The condition can also result from a brain malformation known as cortical dysplasia or occur as part of a genetic disorder called tuberous sclerosis.
