Hemimegalencephaly in a 3-month-old Male Infant: A Case Report from Port Harcourt and Review of the Literature

Introduction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Port Harcourt, South-South geopolitical region of Nigeria, has led to an increase in the number of diagnosis of congenital cerebral malformations within the locality. Reported cases of hemimegalencephaly from Nigeria and indeed from the West African subregion are very scarce. Here, we report a case seen in Port Harcourt where the diagnosis was made possible by MRI and illustrating the imaging features of this rare condition.

Abstract

Introduction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Port Harcourt, South-South geopolitical region of Nigeria, has led to an increase in the number of diagnosis of congenital cerebral malformations within the locality. Reported cases of hemimegalencephaly from Nigeria and indeed from the West African subregion are very scarce. Here, we report a case seen in Port Harcourt where the diagnosis was made possible by MRI and illustrating the imaging features of this rare condition.
