Lissencephaly is a rare congenital developmental brain disorder resulting from defect in neuronal migration, leading to a characteristic marked reduction or absence of the convolution pattern of the cerebral hemispheres. The paucity in the development of brain gyri and sulci is due to defective neuronal migration during 10-14 weeks. We report a lissencephaly case, in 33 weeks+5days twins with refractory seizures and review the literature regarding the same.Keywords
Lissencephaly, Neuronal Migration.
