CT Scan Data Analysis in Malformations of Cortical Development.
Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are a diverse group of disorders that result from abnormal neuronal migration, proliferation, and differentiation during brain development. Head computed tomography (CT) has limited use in the diagnosis of MCDs and should be reserved for selected cases with specific indications or when magnetic resonance imaging is not available or contraindicated. CT can detect brain calcifications associated with MCDs, thus helping in the differential diagnosis between acquired and genetic MCDs or in the identification of different genetic patterns. Moreover, CT can provide high-resolution images of the skull and bones, thus identifying associated malformations, such as craniosynostosis, inner and middle ear malformations, and vertebral anomalies. In this chapter, we review the CT scan technique, data analysis, and indications in the investigation of MCDs.
