ABSTRACT
Anomalies of cell migration are due to various kinds of damage(vascular, infectious, teratogenic etc.) which interfere with neuronal migration between the 8th and 24th week of gestation. Periventricular heterotopias are nodular masses which protrude into the ventricular lumen. There is a high frequency of convulsive disorders. A 38-year-old woman presented to a intermittent headache, seizure-like activity and post-ictal subjective weakness on the left side. The computerized tomography findings and physical and neurologic examinations with an EEG revealed no specific abnormal findings. The MRI showed tumor-like nodular mass lesions at right periventricular area. The histological study of stereotactic excised biopsy demonstrated a composition of neuron and glia. After operation, headaches were slightly reduced and there was no reattack of seizure activity. Authors reports one case of periventricular heterotopia with a review of the literature.
