Ulegyria is an alteration of the structure of the cerebral cortex secondary to perinatal hypoxic-ischemic damage and is a frequent cause of focal epilepsy. It is typical in the occipital lobes and is characterized by the affected gyri having a “mushroom” shape. This is an example of a right occipital ulegyria on MRI (axial T1 on the left and axial FLAIR on the right). #Epiteca #Ulegyria #Neuroimaging#Neuroradiology
