Cerebral malformation associated with metabolic disorder

Abstract: A clinical and neuropathological study is presented of two cases each of which showed neuronal heterotopia. Microgyria was also present in one case. One patient was suffering from a degenerative disorder affecting the white matter. The other was a case of Menkes' disease. It is suggested that the antenatal damage may have been caused by an imbalance of the maternal metabolism, the predisposing factor being the mother's carrier state for a metabolic defect. This is the first report of teratogenesis in a case of… Show more

“…From other evidence (Horn et al, 1975), it seems that the distribution of copper may already be abnormal during early fetal life, and recently prenatal cerebral maldevelopment has been described (case 1 of our series) by Erdohazi et al (1976), although this case was atypical clinically. In our series, copper injections did not have any obvious effect on either the clinical or the EEG evolution; this may well be due to irreversible damage occurring before the administration of copper supplement (Wheeler and Roberts, 1976).…”

“…Certainly some features may be the result of either process. It has been suggested (Erdohazi et al 1976) that the depletion of the internal granular layer of the cerebellum results from defective migration from the external granular layer. As the migration of the external granule cells continues throughout the first 9 to 12 months of postnatal life, any factor operating during this period will tend to affect the process of migration.…”
