Abstract
We report the clinical and neuroimaging findings of a mother and daugh ter with seizure disorders and band heterotopias seen on magnetic reso nance imaging studies. These clinicoradiologic findings simulate those for a diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex. Clinicians should be a ware of this migrational anomaly and its neuroimaging characteristics, as well as the potential for this specific migrational anomaly to be genetically transmitted.
