ABSTRACT
Extensive cortical necrosis associated with malformative microgyric-like lesions and with necrotic lesions of the white matter was observed in two male 25 week fetuses. These cases differed from previously reported cases of brain damage in monozygotic twins both fetuses were affected and the lesions occurred early in pregnancy, before the end of neuronal migration, thus resulting in a cortical malformation associated with destructive lesions.
