A Rare Case of Polymicrogyria in an Elderly Individual With Unique Polygenic Underlining.

Polymicrogyria (PMG) is the most common malformation of cortical development (MCD) and presents as an irregularly patterned cortical surface with numerous small gyri and shallow sulci leading to various neurological deficits including developmental delays, intellectual disability, epilepsy, and language and motor issues. The presentation of PMG varies and is often found in conjunction with other congenital anomalies. Histologically, PMG features an abnormal cortical structure and dyslamination, resulting in its classification as a defect of neuronal migration and organization.

A Unique Case of Vascular Variations in the Upper Limbs: A Brachioradial Artery and Bilateral Persistent Median Arteries With Incomplete Superficial Palmar Arches.

Numerous vascular variations were observed in the upper limbs of a 109-year-old female donor to the Gift Body Program of Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Variations in the right upper limb included the presence of a brachioradial artery (BRA), persistent median artery (PMA), and an ulnar-dominant incomplete type B superficial palmar arch (SPA). In the left upper limb, the brachial artery bifurcated normally into the ulnar artery (UA) and radial artery (RA).
