Abstract

Holoprosencephaly is a congenital malformation complex involving developmental failure in normal cleavage of the forebrain into hemispheres and varying degrees of median facial deformities. We experienced a case of lobar holoprosencephaly in a one day old girl who showed median facial deformities and reviewed the references concerning holoprosencephaly briefly.
