Polymicrogyria is a malformation characterized by an abnormality in late neuronal migration and cortical organization, that causes usually recurrent seizures and or status epilepticus. It results from a combination of genetic and non-genetic factors. We report a case of bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria in an infant with status epilepticus.
