Abstract
Lissencephaly is a rare malformation of the human brain manifest by a smooth cerebral surface. It is usually associated with other brain anomalies. The computed tomographic appearance in 9 patients with lissencephaly, representing several separate types and syndromes, is reported. Common manifestations include a smooth cerebral surface and absent opercula that may lend a figure-8 appearance to the brain and smooth subsurface lines that represent abormal cortical layers or an abnormal white-gray interface.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
