Cerebral and Cranial Malformations

  • Chapter
Pediatric Neurology and Neuroradiology

Abstract

Cerebral and cranial malformations represent the most frequent malformations in man. Malformations of the central nervous system represent the cause of about 60%–80% of all stillbirths and about 40% of all infant deaths attributed to congenital malformations (2). But the incidence of malformations of the central nervous system is certainly higher than infant mortality suggests because large statistical series are based on reviews of the causes of infant deaths, and many malformations such as callosal defects, hamartomas, or cerebellar hypoplasia are compatible with life.
