RESUMEN
Las malformaciones del desarrollo cortical originan un grupo de patologías, que cursan con diversas manifestaciones las cuales marcan un grado de minusvalía significativo en quienes las padecen. La Lisencefalia es una de las alteraciones de la migración neuronal caracterizada por una corteza cerebral de superficie lisa o con pocas circunvoluciones. Este trastorno está frecuentemente asociado a epilepsias de difícil manejo. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 18 meses de edad con diagnóstico de Lisencefalia quien cursa con convulsiones tónicas generalizadas desde los 8 meses de edad. Se le realizó TAC de cráneo simple y resonancia magnética de cerebro para confirmar el diagnóstico y se dio manejo farmacológico a las convulsiones.
ABSTRACT
Malformations of cortical development originate a group of pathologies that involve diverse manifestations that mark a significant degree of disability in those who suffer from. The Lissencephaly is one of alterations in neuronal migration characterized by a smooth surface or with few convolutions in the cerebral cortex. This disorder is often associated with difficult management Epilepsies. We report the case of a male patient from 18 months of age with a diagnosis of Lissencephaly, who presents generalized tonic seizures from 8 months of age. Was performed a simple skull CT and brain magnetic resonance to confirm the diagnosis and the pharmacological management was given to seizures.
