Nécrose laminaire corticale : aspects en imagerie par résonance magnétique et étude anatomoclinique

Cortical laminar necrosis with chronic ethylism is usually called Morel's laminar sclerosis. Nevertheless, histology is not typical of this diagnosis, because of necrosis especially of the second (and not the third) layer of the cortex, and because of the absence of lesion of the corpus callosum. MRI data are of interest here because they were rarely reported in cases of Morel's laminar sclerosis.
