The syndrome of polymicrogyria, thalamic hypoplasia, and epilepsy with CSWS

Conclusions:
The polymicrogyria/CSWS syndrome is likely caused by a cortico-thalamic malformation complex and is characterized by remission of epilepsy within early adolescence. Early assessment of hemispheric and thalamic volumes in children with polymicrogyria and epilepsy can reliably predict CSWS.
