Endoscopic fenestration of middle fossa arachnoid cysts: a technical description and case series.

abstract：:In contrast to neoplasia, lesions of focal cerebral dysplasia are thought to be completed developmental processes of abnormal neuronal migration. We present three children with seizures resulting from brain lesions which pathologically demonstrate regions of both clearcut focal cortical dysplasia and also hypercellula...
