Abstract
Background: Periventricular nodular heterotopia, a common form of neuronal heterotopia, is heterogeneous in etiology. Recessive mutations in ARFGEF2 causing microcephaly and periventricular heterotopia have rarely been reported.
Case Presentation: We report two Saudi siblings with a homozygous ARFGEF2 mutation (c.958 + 1G > A) presenting with microcephaly, dyskinetic movements, seizures, and a distinct brain magnetic resonance imaging pattern, describing the genotype and radiology phenotype correlation.
Conclusion: We speculate that the involvement of the putamen may be a key under recognized feature of ARFGEF2 mutations.

Key words: Case report, ARFGEF2 gene, microcephaly, periventricular nodular heterotopia, putamen
