    Summary

    Lissencephaly, a brain malformation, presents in two distinct groups: classic agyria and smooth brain with polymicrogyria features. This review clarifies their distinct pathologies and diagnostic differences.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Developmental Biology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Lissencephaly is a severe congenital brain malformation characterized by a smooth cerebral surface.
    • Understanding the diverse etiologies and classifications of lissencephaly is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • This study reviews four new and two previously reported cases of lissencephaly.
    • Lissencephaly is identified as a gross feature within two main categories of cortical malformations.

    Findings:

    • Group 1: Classic agyria syndrome with abnormal cortical organization, seen in familial and sporadic cases.
    • Group 2: Smooth brains exhibiting polymicrogyria-like internal features and severe cortical disorganization, associated with familial lissencephaly and cerebro-oculo-muscular syndrome.

    Implications:

    • The findings highlight the distinct clinico-pathological features of lissencephaly subtypes.
    • Further research is needed to investigate the etiology of the second group of cortical malformations.
    • Accurate differential diagnosis between lissencephaly types is essential for patient care and genetic counseling.
