Abstract
We report clinical, neuroradiological and neuropathological findings of monozygotic twin sisters born at 30 weeks' gestation, with pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH) similar but not identical to type 2 PCH. They presented with hypertonia, jitteriness, spontaneous and provoked myoclonic jerks (hyperekplexia), apnoeic episodes, and progressive microcephaly. They died at 7 weeks of age from respiratory failure. Copyright 2000 European Paediatric Neurology Society.Entities:
