Résumé

Subjects with Megalencephaly-Capillary Malformation-Polymicrogyria syndrome (MCAP) can present with a Chiari Malformation Type 1 and resulting alterations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics, which may require surgical treatment. The aim of this paper is to describe the features of children with MCAP who underwent surgical decompression for CM1, and to explore the PIK3CA variant allele frequency (VAF) identified in cerebellar parenchyma and other adjacent structures.
