چکیده
Lissencephaly means smooth brain, i.e., brain without convolutions or gyri. Miller in (1963) and later Dieker in 1969 described a specific pattern of malfor mations, one feature of which was lissencephaly(l,2). They emphasized that this should be called lissencephaly syndrome because of the association of polydactyly, unusual facial appearanc es, malformation of the heart, kidneys and other organs(2). Jones et al. expand ed the clinical phenotype and introduced the term Miller-Dieker syndrome to distinguish this disorder from other conditions associated with lissencephaly(l-3). This is the first case series to be reported from India.
