Abstract

In a 2-year-old boy with severe psychomotor developmental delay and a dysmorphic face, a chromosome study revealed a balanced translocation: 46XY,t-(1;3)(p31.2;p21). With magnetic resonance angiography, bilateral internal carotid artery agenesis was diagnosed. Periventricular high-intensity areas were evident on T2-weighted imaging, but no major cerebral malformation was observed.
