Macrogyria

Macrogyria is a congenital defect in the development of the brain, in which the convolutions of the cerebrum significantly expand, and the surface of the cortex becomes uneven and lumpy. This condition may be due to genetic factors, intrauterine infections, or other diseases that can affect brain development.

Macrogyria can manifest itself in various forms, such as expansion of the cerebral convolutions, an increase in brain volume, and disruption of its structure and functions. In some cases, macrogyria can lead to various neurological problems, such as seizures, visual or hearing impairment, decreased intelligence, and others.

Treatment for macrogyria depends on its form and severity of the condition. In some cases, surgery may be necessary, such as removing part of the brain or creating artificial holes to improve brain function. Drug treatments, such as drugs to improve cerebral circulation or reduce seizures, may also be used.

However, despite all efforts, macrogyria remains a serious disease that can lead to serious consequences for a person’s health and life. Therefore, it is important to carry out early diagnosis and treatment of this condition to prevent its development and improve the quality of life of patients.

Macrogalia is an increase in the surface of the brain due to the lack of splitting of the anterior part of the corpus callosum and the development of macropalatal cisterns in both hemispheres. Synonym: megalolambdacysteum. In literature it is often used as a synonym for compound lips. However, these are different concepts, since complex lips are only one of the types
