Gradient Echo imaging in the evaluation of pachygyria in the pediatric patient
Keywords:
pediatric, seizures, neuroimaging, pachygyria, gradient echo sequenceAbstract
MRI is an invaluable component of the pediatric seizure evaluation. Of the differential diagnosis, the migration abnormality can be among the most challenging to establish. This novel paper demonstrates the benefit of the gradient echo sequence in detecting cortical thickening and establishing the diagnosis of pachygyria.
