Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are neurodevelopmental disorders caused by abnormal development of the cerebral cortex in utero secondary to genetic, infectious or vascular factors. This VISUOG chapter will focus specifically on Group 2 (Barkovich Classification) malformations, which include lissencephaly, cobblestone malformation, and heterotopia. These conditions all result from abnormal neuronal migration.

One of the latest advancements in ultrasound is the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI). AI-assisted ultrasound imaging applications and tools are being developed to aid medical practitioners in their decision-making in gynecology and obstetrics. The goal is to address longstanding challenges in diagnosis and treatment, ultimately supporting and improving maternal and fetal health.
