Hemimegalencephaly (HME), or unilateral megalencephaly, is a rare congenital brain malformation defined as overgrowth of one cerebral hemisphere or part of it resulting from abnormal cortical development and neuronal migration. However, cortical developmental abnormalities are rarely diagnosed prenatally. This is the reason for our study, in which we describe and compare ultrasound and MRI findings in a fetus with HME.
巨脑回单侧化(HME),又称单侧巨脑回,是一种罕见的先天性脑畸形,定义为由于皮质发育和神经元迁移异常导致一个大脑半球或其部分过度生长。然而,皮质发育异常很少在产前诊断出来。这就是我们进行这项研究的原因,我们在这项研究中描述并比较了 HME 胎儿的超声和 MRI 表现。
