Prenatal diagnosis of lissencephaly by magnetic resonance image

Fetal Diagn Ther. 1993 Jan-Feb;8(1):56-9. doi: 10.1159/000263748.

Abstract

Two cases of lissencephaly were prenatally diagnosed by a magnetic resonance image (MRI). Smooth surface of brain and remarkable sylvian fissure, which were barely detectable by ultrasound, were easily observed in MRI. MRI is the most appropriate tool in diagnosing lissencephaly.
