Autosomal recessive bilateral frontal polymicrogyria with ectopia lentis and chorioretinal dystrophy

Ann Indian Acad Neurol. 2013 Oct;16(4):678-80. doi: 10.4103/0972-2327.120473.

Abstract

Polymicrogyria is a type of cortical dysplasia with cortical organizational defect. Bilateral polymicrogyria are distinct with genetic basis in a subset. We hereby report a case of bilateral frontal polymicrogyria (BFP) in association with chorioretinal dystrophy and ectopia lentis (EL) in a 26-year-old lady born of a consanguineous parentage. Her male sibling also had chorioretinal dystrophy and EL. This combination of autosomal recessive inheritance has not been reported earlier in the literature and suggests a role of connective tissue genes in BFP.

Keywords: Autosomal recessive; chorioretinal-dystrophy; ectopia lentis; frontal-polymicrogyria.
