The term “oligogyria” is used to describe a simplified
gyral pattern characterized by a reduced number of gyri
and shallow sulci, always associated with microcephaly.
We report the history of two children affected by drug
sensitive epilepsy, mild mental retardation and oligogyria
without microcephaly.
Our work support the hypothesis that a simplified gyral
pattern can be associated with a normal head circumference
and that it can represent a peculiar entity associated
with drug sensitive epilepsy and mild mental retardation.
