| Abstract |
|
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.
We have experienced a case of Type II lissencephaly (Walker-Warburg syndrome). In this case
lissencephaly, hydrocephalus, hypoplasia of corpus callosum, hypoplasia of septum pellucidum, retinal
dysplasia, optic atrophy, nystagmus was noticed. So we presented this case with a review of refer-
ential literatures.
