Abstract
In a large series of 116 cortical resections for treatment of medicall y intractable epilepsy, 10 glial hamartomas and 11 neuronoglial malfor mative lesions were found. Glial hamartomas were astrocytic in 3 cases , oligodendrocytic in 6 and mixed oligoastrocytic in 1. Neuronoglial l esions corresponded to ''focal cortical dysplasia'' in 6 patients and to ''microdysgenesis'' in 5 others. This study focuses on the various neuropathological presentations of these malformative epileptogenic le sions, and on correlations with neuro-imaging data.
