Focal Cortical Dysplasia

Focal cortical dysplasia is a developmental anomaly in a particular region of the cortex of the brain. It is characterized by a cortical architecture that is disorganized and an abnormal arrangement of neurons. Seizures, intellectual abnormalities, motor impairments, and developmental delays are just a few of the symptoms that can result from this illness. Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings, clinical evaluation, and neuroimaging methods like MRI are all necessary for a precise diagnosis of localized cortical dysplasia. Depending on the patient's demands, treatment options may also include targeted therapies, surgical removal of the damaged brain tissue, and drugs to control seizures.
