RESUMO

We report a mother and son who each presented in infancy with hypotonia and global developmental delay. Subsequently, in both subjects, mild mental handicap was diagnosed in association with temporal lobe arachnoid cysts. Mendelian inheritance of this phenotype seems likely and macroscopic cerebral dysplasia in general may be underdiagnosed in people with familial, mild mental handicap.
