Malformations of cortical development (MCD) are a group of disorders characterized by a
congenital abnormal structure of the cerebral cortex. In general, malformations are defined
as structural abnormalities caused by a disturbance in cell organization or function within
a tissue type. When a disturbance results in an abnormal structure of the cerebral cortex
we call this: malformations of cortical development. MCD are heterogeneous as a group, as
they include several different structural abnormalities, and they have a diverse array of
causes, both genetic and environmental.http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/22639/100910_Wit%2C%20Marie-Claire%20Yvette%20de.pdf
