Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita associated with lissencephaly: a case report.
A child with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and microcephaly is described. Cranial CT-scan and MRI showed abnormalities consistent with type I lissencephaly. The lissencephaly seems to be the primary cause of the congential contractures. Lissencephaly associated with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita has to be considered as a special kind of lissencephaly syndrome.
