Modern Imaging of Brain Malformations with Particular Reference to Endocrinology

Abstract

Advances in neuro-imaging techniques, such as MR imaging, have allowed the demonstration of a wide range of subtle pathologies not possible with previous methods. This is particularly true in the case of brain malformations. In this review I will discuss the range of imaging methods available and describe a structural approach to classifying the range of brain malformations. The most common variety of pituitary malformations are also included in this review.
