Abstract:
Hemimegalencephaly is a rare congenital malformation of the cortical development arising from abnormal proliferation of anomalous neuronal and glial cells. The characteristic clinical manifestations are macrocephaly, psycomotor retardation, intractable seizure and hemihypertrophy of face, body and extremities, but musculoskeletal deformities are reported only in case of epidermal nevus syndrome. We report a case of hemimegalencephaly that was associated with foot deformity, without symptoms and signs of epidermal nevus syndrome.
