Table 2 Grouped data summarising the frequency of hippocampal abnormalities in each type of malformation of cortical development (MCD).

Type of MCD Hippocampal atrophy (n (%)) Enlarged hippocampus (n (%)) Abnormal rotation (n (%)) Abnormal shape (n (%)) Abnormal internal architecture (n (%)) Abnormal T2/FLAIR signal (n (%))
FCD (n = 39) 5 (13) 0 1 (2.5) 2 (5) 4 (10) 4 (10)
HME (n = 5) 3 (60) 2 (40) 2 (40) 1 (20) 1 (20) 1 (20)
Ag‐P (n = 5) 0 2 (40) 0 1 (20) 0 0
SLH (n = 11) 3 (27) 1 (9) 2 (18) 2 (18) 0 0
PNH (n = 11) 6 (54.5) 0 6 (54.5) 5 (45.5) 5 (45.5) 2 (18)

Two patients with HME with enlarged hippocampus also had pachygyria in the temporal lobe.
