Abstract

We describe two children with complex cortical malformations as well as the typical intracranial manifestations of tuberous sclerosis complex. One child had hemimegalencephaly and the other had extensive focal megalencephaly. These cases are discussed in terms of the current concepts of cortical malformations.
