Med Ultrason. 2013 Dec;15(4):330-2. doi: 10.11152/mu.2013.2066.154.mrit2.

Abstract

Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a rare anomaly of the brain consisting of an absent or incomplete separation of the forebrain in early gestation. We present 2 variants of HPE, diagnosed by ultrasound, which combined with the clinical features led to HPE subtypes differentiation.
