  • Malformations of cortical development (MCD): especially grey matter heterotopia
  • Absent or abnormal anterior commissure
  • Absent or abnormal hippocampal commissure
  • Abnormal ventricles
  • Probst bundles: longitudinal callosal fascicles
  • Inter-hemispheric cysts
  • Inter-hemispheric lipomas
