Malformations caused by abnormalities of cortical development (MCDs) as a group are now widely recognized as a key cause of medically refractory epilepsies, often leading to a consideration of surgical treatment. A practical classification scheme including histopathologic, imaging, and, if possible, clinical-electrographic features of the various different types of MCDs, will be important to the delineation of surgical strategies and anticipation of medical and surgical prognoses. A proposal of such a scheme with emphasis on the focal cortical dysplasias is given in the hopes that it will reopen the debate on the best way to classify these disorders.
