Definitions

The term lissencephaly covers a group of rare malformations sharing the common feature of anomalies in the appearance of brain convolutions (characterised by simplification or absence of folding) associated with abnormal organisation of the cortical layers as a result of neuronal migration defects during embryogenesis. Lissencephaly is a spectrum of gyral abnormalities. Lissencephaly, pchygyria and subcortical band heterotopia are known to be caused by the same genes. The distinction between these radiographic terms is not clear cut. The clinical consequences for these radiographic abnormalities is also often overlapping.
