Abstract

Cortical dysplasia and tumors are representative brain lesions associated with intractable epilepsy. Focal cortical dysplasia type II is characterized by cortical cytoarchitectural abnormalities, dysmorphic neurons, and balloon cells, and is associated with somatic mutations of mTOR pathway molecules. Glioneuronal and neuronal tumors, including dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor and ganglioglioma, are the major tumor types for the clinical phenotype. Recently, various subtypes and characterizing molecular profiles have been recognized.
