Résumé
Malformations of cortical development (MCD) are structural anomalies that disrupt the normal process of cortical development. Patients with these anomalies frequently present with seizures, developmental delay, neurologic deficits, and cognitive impairment, resulting in a wide spectrum of neurologic outcomes. The severity and type of malformation, in addition to the genetic pathways of brain development involved, contribute to the observed variability. While neuroimaging plays a central role in identifying congenital anomalies in vivo, the precise definition and classification of cortical developmental defects have undergone significant transformations in recent years due to advances in molecular and genetic knowledge. The authors provide a concise overview of embryologic brain development, recently standardized nomenclature, and the categorization system for abnormalities in cortical development, offering valuable insights into the interpretation of their neuroradiologic patterns.
