Encyclopedia > Cortical dysplasia

Cortical dysplasia is a benign tumor which occurs when the infant brain is developing in the womb, occasionally the neurons will develop larger than normal in certain areas. This causes the signals sent through the neurons in these areas to mis-fire, or to send an incorrect signal. It is commonly found near the motor skills, or vocal regions of the brain, and is associated with seizures. Instead of using medication to suppress the seizures, surgery is quickly becoming a popular solution for the problem.
