title: Frontotemporal pachygyria-two new patients.
abstract: We describe two Finnish brothers with frontotemporal pachygyria, intellectual deficiency and mild dysmorphisms. Previously, only a few cases of similar frontotemporal pachygyria have been reported. This report provides further evidence about frontotemporal pachygyria being a distinct genetic entity inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
