A recent report from the University of Catania in Italy discusses the topic of periventricular nodular heterotopia (PVNH), a group of malformations in brain development characterized by abnormal neuronal nodules. The report highlights that magnetic resonance imaging can be used to identify these nodules, which often present with epileptic seizures. The underlying causes of PVNH are genetic mutations, with FLNA1 and ERMARD being the main genes involved. Treatment typically involves anticonvulsant drugs, although surgical intervention may be necessary in cases of drug-resistant seizures. The report provides further information on the diagnosis and treatment of PVNH. [Extracted from the article] |
