Hemimegalencephaly

Transcranial ultrasound of the brain revealed enlargement of the left lateral ventricle. No evidence of germinal matrix hemorrhage, no intraventricular hemorrhage or hypoxic-ischemic insult.

CT examination of the brain shows enlarged dysplastic left cerebral hemisphere with gross cortical dysplasia and enlargement of the left lateral ventricle. Cavum septum pellucidum and cavum verge are noted as normal variants. A right parietooccipital subgaleal cephalohematoma is seen mostly related to ventose application. 

Hamartomatous over-growth of the entire left cerebral hemisphere is noted associated with cortical dysplasia (agyria/pachygyria) with a broadening of the cortical sulci and shallow gyri & enlargement of the ipsilateral left lateral ventricle with left lateral ventricle small focal subependymal heterotopia. Contralateral displacement of the posterior falx with slight contralateral left-to-right midline shift is noted. Associated calcification of the left inferior frontal deep white matter is noted as well as a small left posterior frontal developmental venous anomaly (DVA).

A small right parieto-occipital subgaleal cephalohematoma is seen.    

Normal right cerebral hemisphere.    

Normal cerebellum, brain stem and cervico-medullary junction.
