Abstract
Polymicrogria is a relatively common malformation of cortical development. The perisylvian region is the most common location of the polymicrogria. Bilateral perisylvian polymicrogria is a syndrome characterized by epilepsy, pseudobulbar palsy and cognitive impairment. Arthrogryposis has been reported in the minority of the cases. Here, a case with bilateral perisylvian polymicrogria syndrome associated with congenital arthrogryposis is presented to draw attention to this unity
