ABSTRACT

We report a case of a symptomatic infant (twin II), in comparisson with his asymptomatic twin (twin II); who presented secondary tonic seizures in neuronal migration disorders taken from the craneal computed tomography. In reference to the clinical picture, the cranial computed tomography as well as the literature regarding neuronal migration disorders with a probable etiologic role in threatened abortion.
