[FCD2 and hemimegalencephaly (HME) may have the same pathogenesis, the principal difference being timing of onset within the 33 mitotic cycles of the periventricular neuroepithelium to exponentially produce the total neuronal population of the cerebral cortex: if the mutation occurs during the late mitotic cycles, FCD2 results as a small dysgenesis; if the mutation occurs in the early mitotic cycles, the distribution of abnormal neurons is more extensive and HME may result.].
