subcortical band heterotopia

Subcortical band heterotopia is a developmental brain abnormality where neurons do not migrate to the correct areas during the development of the cortex. This improper migration leads to bands of misplaced neurons in the brain. It is also known by several other names such as HeCo, band heterotopia, double cortex syndrome, and more. This condition highlights a disruption in the normal formation of the brain, which can affect its structure. Detailed information regarding how this structural difference influences daily life is not fully available from the current sources.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

Subcortical band heterotopia occurs because neurons do not migrate to their proper locations during brain development. The current sources do not provide additional details on genetic factors or other specific causes.

Information about treatment is currently limited for this condition.

Information about prognosis is currently limited for this condition.

Information about current research and future directions is currently limited for this condition.
