INTRODUCTION: @entity4494 ( @entity4494 ) is a transient fetal brain structure that harvests a significant amount of precursors of cortical @entity1246 -ergic interneurons. Prenatal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of @entity154 (i.e., cavitations) have already been reported associated with severe micro-lissencephaly. The purpose of this report was to illustrate the MR imaging features of @entity154 in conditions other than severe micro-lissencephalies. METHODS: Among all the fetuses submitted to prenatal MR imaging at our center from 2005 to 2014, we collected eight cases with @entity154 and only limited associated @entity75 . The median gestational age at the time of MR imaging was 21  weeks ranging from 19 to 29 weeks. Two senior pediatric neuroradiologists categorized the anomalies of the @entity4494 region in two groups: group one showing cavitation in the @entity4494 region and group two showing enlarged @entity4494 region. For each fetal case, associated @entity129 were also reported. RESULTS: Five out of the eight cases were included in group one and three in group two. Besides the @entity4494 region abnormality, all eight cases had additional @entity932 , such as mild partial @entity15261 , @entity509 and rotation, @entity15405 , @entity1276 , enlarged subarachnoid spaces, @entity600 . Ultrasound generally detected most of the associated @entity932 , prompting the MR investigation; on the contrary in none of the cases, @entity154 had been detected by ultrasound. CONCLUSIONS: Our observation expands the spectrum of @entity1 @entity154 , demonstrating that these may take place also without associated severe micro-lissencephalies.
