Lissencephaly associated with cerebellar hypoplasia and myoclonic epilepsy in a Bedouin kindred: a new syndrome?

Abstract

Clinico-radiological assessment of three mentally retarded members of a large Bedouin kindred showed lissencephaly, spastic paraparesis, myoclonic epilepsy and cerebellar hypoplasia. It seems that the familial association of lissencephaly/myoclonic epilepsy/cerebellar hypoplasia represents a new entity.
