Malformations of cortical development and epilepsy: A cohort of 150 patients in western China

MCDs are a critical cause of epilepsy and pose a big challenge for resource-limited countries. Imaging techniques are crucial in diagnosing and classifying cortical deformities. Multiple malformations lead to more severe clinical features and worse prognosis. Identifying and classifying MCDs can help physicians to better estimate patient prognosis and seek the best, individualized therapeutic options.
