Hi Noorfida,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Pachygyria is a rare developmental brain disorder which results from abnormal migration of neurons in the developing brain and nervous system.

In this symptoms are variable, but may include seizures, developmental delay, growth failure, small head size, feeding issues, and poor muscle control.

Because of abnormal brain morphology, the child will develop the delays in milestones in spite of good physiotherapy and this will depend on the extent of brain involvement.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
