LD20.1 Syndromes with lissencephaly as a major feature

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01


The term lissencephaly covers a group of rare malformations sharing the common feature of anomalies in the appearance of brain convolutions (characterised by simplification or absence of folding) associated with abnormal organisation of the cortical layers as a result of neuronal migration defects during embryogenesis. Children with lissencephaly have feeding and swallowing problems, muscle tone anomalies (early hypotonia and subsequently limb hypertonia), seizures (in particular, infantile spasms) and severe psychomotor retardation. Two large groups can be distinguished: classical lissencephaly (and its variants) and cobblestone lissencephaly.
