Neu-Laxova syndrome is a rare, lethal, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, central nervous system anomalies, skin findings, such as ichthyosis, edema, collodion baby and harlequin fetus, facial dysmorphic features, limb anomalies and genital hypoplasia.
We report on two new cases of syndromic lissencephaly in two consanguineous sibs, with skeletal abnormality, born to young, healthy, second cousin parents with healthy children. In Case 1, fetal ultrasound screening at 32 weeks of gestation showed microcephaly, skin infiltration and equinovarus
We report a stillborn girl with a complex syndrome of microcephaly, lissencephaly, severe subcutaneous edema, atrophic muscles, camptodactyly, syndactyly of toes and fingers, hypoplastic genitalia, and numerous structural changes of the brain and eyes. Similar cases have been reported by Neu et al
Two cases of Neu-Laxova syndrome are reported. The pathological features are described. There is marked swelling of the palms and soles, which is due to massive fat and myxomatous connective tissue proliferation in addition to edema. Lissencephaly with hypoplasia of cortical descending fibers is
A term infant had dwarfism with characteristic skeletal and extraskeletal changes of the short rib-polydactyly syndrome type 2 (Majewski). The skeletal changes included extremely short horizontal ribs, extreme micromelia with disproportionately short ovoid tibiae, and pre- and post-axial
In this lecture, I attempted to demonstrate MR imaging of the cerebral tracts, medullospinal junction and spinal cord. Cortical migration disorders includes heterotopic gray matter, pachygyria and polymicrogyria. Delayed myelination and dysmyelination are shown as hyper signal intensity in the white
The human brain is the continuous subject of extensive investigation aimed at understanding its behavior and function. Despite a clear evidence that mechanical factors play an important role in regulating brain activity, current research efforts focus mainly on the biochemical or
