Multiple migration defects of cerebral cortex in a patient with epileptic seizures mimicking panic attacks

Disorders of neuronal migration can lead to malformations of the cerebral neocortex and presentation and clinical course of patients these patients are variable. In this paper, we report a patient with episodic attacks initially thought to be panic attacks which on further investigation were identified to be seizure episodes to be associated with cerebral cortical migration abnormalities.
