Periventricular Heterotopia and Epilepsy Neurol 44:51-55, Huttenlocher,P.R.,et al, 1994 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract We report a family with nodular subependymal masses of heterotopic gray matter occurring in six members in four generations.Only female members of the family are affected,and there is a high rate of spontaneous abortion, consistent with X-linked dominant inheritance,and lack of viability in affected males.Both in this family and in sporatic cases of subependymal heterotopias there is a high frequency of convulsive disorders,suggesting that epilepsy may be the major clinical manifestation of this developmental defect.
