Cobblestone lissencephaly (Type II), clinical, and neuroimaging: A case report and literature review [PDF]
Cobblestone lissencephaly (C-LIS) (TYPE II) is a rare and severe neuronal migration disorder characterized by a smooth brain surface with overmigrated neurons and abnormal formation of cerebral convolutions or gyri during fetal development, resulting in ...

Lissencephaly with subcortical band heterotopia in an East African child: A case report [PDF]
Lissencephaly is a rare neuronal migration defect that results in a smooth cerebral surface, mental retardation, and seizures. It is diagnosed primarily by correlating clinical manifestations with MRI findings. We present a case of a 3-year-old girl with

A de novo microdeletion involving PAFAH1B (LIS1) related to lissencephaly phenotype
Lissencephaly is a type of the congenital malformation of the brain. Due to the impairments of neuronal migration, patients show absence of brain convolution manifesting smooth brain surfaces.

Nonprimary Cytomegalovirus Fetal Infection [PDF]
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common congenital viral infection, causing hearing, visual and psychomotor impairment. Preexisting maternal CMV immunity substantially reduces, but not eliminates, the risk of fetal infection and affectation.
