Mixed Quadriplegia with Lissencephaly and Dysmyelination

Lissencephaly results from a neuromigrational arrest during first and second trimester of pregnancy and shows hypotonia, marked mental retardation and seizure as predominant features. Myelination is a perinatal process and co-occurence of migrational disorder with myelination disorder is rare. We report a 17-month-old male with mixed quadriplegia and mental retardation with type 1 lissencephaly and dysmyelination of cerebral white matter diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging.
