Abstract

Neuronal migrational disorders (NMD) offer a wide spectrum of disorders with specific diagnosis by CT and MRI of the brain. Most NMD are easily recognized on CT scans & MRI and offer little or no difficulty in their diagnosis (5, 6).
Through this article we propose to elucidate a subtle form of NMD by Non contrast CT scans of the brain. This subtle variety of NMD almost always escapes recognition on CT / MRI, always prompting a normal report on most occasions.
It is the purpose of this article to highlight the CT scan features of these nearly normal appearing images of NMD, which we propose to label as a subtle NMD (Subtle Neuronal Migrational Disorder).
30 CT scans of children ranging from 1 to 5 years were analysed retrospectively.
All had similar CT scan findings and identical clinical presentations.
