It has been classified into two subsets according to the embryogenesis and the neuropathological findings. Basically, the difference between these two groups is the presence or not of schizencephaly. The term SOD-Plus was recently proposed to describe SOD associated with cortical dysplasia. We report a 6-month-ol...
