DE LA CRUZ DE ONA, Andria; PONS PORRATA, Laura María  e  ESPINOSA CREAGH, Yanet. Focal and diffuse nodular heterotopy as a malformation of the central nervous system. MEDISAN [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.8, pp. 1311-1316. ISSN 1029-3019.

The case report of a 16 year-old adolescent, with 37.8 weeks of pregnancy who was admitted to "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital from Santiago de Cuba is presented, due to neurological manifestations. By means of magnetic resonance an image of possible tumoral aspect was observed in the right temporoparietooccipital area, which forced to carry out an emergent caesarean section. Then a contrasted magnetic resonance was made, which results confirmed that it was a focal and diffuse nodular subependymal heterotopy, associated with an hypoplasia of the right cerebral and cerebelous hemispheres and from the callous body.

Palavras-chave : adolescent; pregnancy, magnetic resonance; nodular diffuse subependymal heterotopy; focal nodular heterotopy.
