Book excerpt: Disorders of Neuronal Migration addresses the various aspects of neuronal migration disorders in an ordered way. It will help the clinician to acquire insight as well as proficiency in diagnosis. Individual chapters describe subgroups including: lissencephalies subependymal heterotopia non-lissencephalic cortical dysplasias anomalies of the corpus callosum hemimegalencephaly schizencephaly polymicrogyria and multisystem disorders with impaired migration such as chromosomal and metabolic syndromes. Neuroradiological and genetic data are provided with the respective chapters. Although the book is intended for clinical practice, it provides core information for all interested in this important biological process.
