We report three children with pure congenital hemiplegia found to have congenital bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria (CBPP). None of our patients had the seizures, oromotor dysfunction, or cognitive impairment usually associated with CBPP. CBPP may be more common and heterogeneous than previously thought, is easily recognized by MRI, and should be included in the differential diagnosis of the young child presenting with congenital hemiplegia.

D005260 Female Females
D006429 Hemiplegia Severe or complete loss of motor function on one side of the body. This condition is usually caused by BRAIN DISEASES that are localized to the cerebral hemisphere opposite to the side of weakness. Less frequently, BRAIN STEM lesions; cervical SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; and other conditions may manifest as hemiplegia. The term hemiparesis (see PARESIS) refers to mild to moderate weakness involving one side of the body.
