Lissencephaly is a rare abnormality of brain development characterized by incomplete neuronal
migration and a smooth cerebral surface. Three types of lissencephaly are recognized. Type I is
characterized by microcephaly and dysmorphic facies. Type II usually lacks characteristic facies but
exhibits macrocephaly from hydrocephalus, eye anomaly, and/or congenital muscular dystrophies.
Type III is characterized by microcephaly without any characteristic dysmorphic facial features.
