Quantification and Discrimination of Abnormal Sulcal Patterns in Polymicrogyria

Abstract: Polymicrogyria (PMG) is a malformation of cortical development characterized by an irregular gyral pattern and its diagnosis and severity have been qualitatively judged by visual inspection of imaging features. We aimed to provide a quantitative description of abnormal sulcal patterns for individual PMG brains using our sulcal graph-based analysis and examined the association with language impairment. The sulcal graphs were constructed from magnetic resonance images in 26 typical developing and 18 PMG subjects… Show more

“…Polymicrogyria may be unilateral or bilateral, frontal, frontoparietal, perisylvian, parieto-occipital or generalized (26,27). In localized form, the remaining cortical gray matter may be abnormal (28).…”

“…Sulcal basins are concave substructures decomposed from one large part of cortical folds 29 . Cortical mean curvature and depth on a surface model were measured using the FreeSurfer (surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu), and sulcal basins were automatically identified using a watershed algorithm based on the curvature map 12, 13, 23, 29 (Fig. 1).…”

“…We previously developed a comprehensive and quantitative analytical method for comparing primary sulcal patterns using not only the regional features of sulci folds themselves, but also the inter-sulcal geometric and topological relationships 23 . This method provided an effective means for detecting genetically-influenced abnormal sulcal patterns in pediatric patients with cerebral malformations 10, 12 and developmental dyslexia 13 .…”
