Abstract

Holotelencephaly is a congenital malformation of the telencephalon which is characterized by developmental failure of the cerebral hemispheres and frequently associated with midline facial defect. We experienced a case of holotelencephaly, alobar type, associated with microphthalmia and choanal atresia. Diagnosis was confirmed by autopsy. A brief review of literature was made.
