Periventricular nodular heterotopiais a common cortical malformation in adults. Subependymal nodules of gray matter line the lateral walls of the ventricles and follows gray matter density on CT and signal intensity on MRI. These nodules do not enhance on post contrast examination. When periventricular nodular heterotopia is recognised in female patients of reproductive age, genetic counselling is adviced as FLNA x-linked dominant mutation is fatal to affected male resulting in perinatal/in utero demise.
