Alobar holoprosencephaly: A case report
Authors
Abstract:
Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a rare congenital brain malformation associated with multiple midline facial defects. This anomaly is resulted from the failure of diverticulation and cleavage of primitive prosencephalon during weeks 4-8 of gestation. HPE is the most common forebrain developmental anomaly in human with the incidence rate of 0.49-1.2 cases per 10,000-20,000 term births. In this study, we described a case of HPE in a neonate with gestational age of 32 weeks. Antenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis was performed, and the infant was presented with macrocephaly, bilateral microphthalmia, hypotelorism, proboscis and ambiguous genitalia.

Holoprosencephaly is a rare congenital brain malformation resulting from failure of diverticulation and cleavage of primitive prosencephalon which occurs at 4th 8th week of gestation and is usually associated with multiple midline facial anomalies. Herein we report an antenatal case of such patient. Patient was evaluated and because of the magnitude of the problem induction was done which led t...
full textAlobar holoprosencephaly: report of two cases with unusual findings.
Holoprosencephaly, a disorder resulting from failure of cleavage or incomplete differentiation of the forebrain structures at various levels or to various degrees, is related to hereditary factors, chromosomal anomalies, cytogenetic abnormalities, and environmental teratogenic factors. We report on 2 cases of alobar holoprosencephaly, with similar physical findings, including microcephaly, micr...

A twenty-year-old second gravida presented to the department of radiodiagnosis for routine obstetric ultrasound examination. Ultrasonography revealed a live fetus of 17 weeks with absent falx, fused thalami, monoventricle, proboscis, and cyclopia. Fetal MRI was performed and the findings were confirmed. Even though ultrasonography is diagnostic in the detection of fetal anomalies, MRI plays a v...

A 30 year old woman, gravida 3 para 2, was admitted to the labour ward at term. Routine ultrasound scan performed at 23 weeks had revealed a single cerebral ventricle, fused thalami and absent midline structures (Panel A), with anti-CMV IgG increasing from 250 to 539 IU/mL at 23 and 25 weeks. Antenatal diagnosis of alobar holoprosencephaly following congenital CMV infection was made. The partur...
full textAlobar holoprosencephaly associated with cebocephaly and craniosynostosis.
Cebocephaly is a very rare congenital midline facial anomaly characterized by a blind-ended single nostril and ocular hypotelorism, and is usually combined with alobar holoprosencephaly. We report here a case of alobar holoprosencephaly with cebocephaly and craniosynostosis. Chromosomal analysis revealed normal karyotyping. The facial dysmorphism was characterized by the single nostril, hypotel...
