Clinical cases: All of them presented microcephaly, spastic palsy, intelective defict, disorders of cortical development and cerebral calcifications. Two present hearing loss and one, seizures. One case was diagnosed in neonatal period, and the other two were detected because of progressive neurological symptoms.
