Abstract
The abnormal patterns of cerebral convolutions range from severe to small anomalies
restricted to tertiary gyri and sulci. Lesions within Glial–Pial barrier were found
in examined cases with cortical developmental abnormalities. Anomalies and impaired
function of vessels penetrating the cortex from meningeal plexus coexisted often with
Glial–Pial barrier lesions. We are able to say that our cases constitute a group of
graded changes demonstrating that both observed developmental lesions vascular and/or
Glial–Pial barrier damage may result in cortical anomalies. Their formation and character
depend on the stage of cortical maturation when analyzed lesions occur.
