📋Overview
Lissencephaly is a rare brain malformation characterized by a smooth cerebral surface due to defective neuronal migration during fetal development. It is a legacy term meaning 'smooth brain' and is classified under cortical malformations. Modern terminology refers to it as a type of neuronal migration disorder causing agyria (absence of normal brain folds) or pachygyria (broad, few gyri).
