Features include 1,2: Associated craniofacial features may also be present which include: The fused cortex can take on one of three basic shapes 2: This is the most severe type of the holoprosencephaly spectrum and often tends to be fatal in the neonatal period.

Lobar holoprosencephaly - Holoprosencephaly results from abnormal separation of forebrain (prosencephalon) structures during embryologic development While holoprosencephaly exists on a continuous spectrum of severity, there are several identifiable patterns along the spectrum, including: Alobar holoprosencephaly - Most severe form. 30, No. Embryopathologic and ultrasound findings are reported in five cases of alobar holoprosencephaly that were diagnosed prenatally, two cases as early as 23 menstrual weeks. 13, No. Video from Deepak Kumar Singh. The facial abnormalities accompanying holoprosencephaly range from subtle to grotesque (Figure 14-1).In general, the more severe facial malformations are associated with alobar holoprosencephaly, but exceptions do occur ().The most severe facial malformation is cyclopia, a single or fused double eye and absent nasal structures (Figures 14-1A and 14-1B). 12, No. 1, 16 November 2016 | Rivista di Neuroradiologia, Vol. 4, Seminars in Roentgenology, Vol. Castillo M(1), Bouldin TW, Scatliff JH, Suzuki K.

Alobar and lobar holoprosencephaly are associated with microcephaly and midfacial defects in 80% of cases. 1, Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy, Vol. 6, Current Opinion in Neurology, Vol. Here, we report on the prenatal diagnosis of holoprosencephaly using MRI as part of a diagnostic and management evaluation at a tertiary and quaternary referral center. 1, 1 September 2009 | The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, Vol. As with all types of holoprosencephaly, it is a rare congenital brain malformation in which there is failure of complete separation of the two hemispheres (which usually occurs around the 4th to 6th gestational weeks) and failure of transverse cleavage into the diencephalon and telencephalon. Using an advanced MRI protocol and a 1.5-Tesla magnet, we show radiographic data diagnostic for the holoprosencephaly spectrum, including alobar, semilobar, lobar, middle interhemispheric, and septopreoptic variant. Modern ultrasound imaging devices have increasingly allowed sophisticated prenatal diagnoses of fetal disorders. 12, No. We present the ultrasound detection of alobar holoprosencephaly (HPE) with cyclopia in an embryo of 9 weeks 2 days last menstrual period (LMP)‐based gestational age; the crown–rump length (CRL) was 22 mm. 22, No. Alobar holoprosencephaly, the most serious form, in which the brain fails to separate, is usually associated with severe facial anomalies, including lack of a nose and the eyes merged to a single median structure (see cyclopia). 1984;151 (2): 455-9. 2, 1 January 2002 | Prenatal Diagnosis, Vol. PMID: 8237694 [Indexed for MEDLINE] Publication Types: Case Reports; MeSH terms. This child has features are consistent with lobar holoprosencephaly, including a poorly formed corpus callosum and azygous anterior cerebral artery. 4, American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vol. Abstract Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a heterogeneous central nervous system (CNS) anomaly that results from a primary defect in induction and patterning of the rostral neural tube (basal forebrain), leading to varying degrees of incomplete separation of the cerebral hemispheres and facial anomalies. From most to least severe, the 4 types are alobar, semi-lobar, lobar, and middle interhemispheric variant (MIHV). Embryopathologic and ultrasound findings are reported in five cases of alobar holoprosencephaly that were diagnosed prenatally, two cases as early as 23 menstrual weeks. The ...

Home; Learning Objectives; Chest. A, Axial CT image showing alobar holoprosencephaly. 16, No. In the semilobar type, similar changes are present, however, the cerebral hemispheres are relatively more developed. Rarely, an alobar holoprosencephalic patient has no striking or obvious facial defects, or the facial pattern may be atypical (4). Holoprosencephaly may be associated with cyclops with ethmocephaly, dorsal brain cyst or olfactory nerve hypoplasia. The middle interhemispheric variant (MIHV) of holoprosencephaly is a rare manifestation of abnormal forebrain differentiation in which there is impaired cleavage of the posterior frontal and anterior parietal lobes over the vertex. As with most cerebral structural congenital abnormalities, alobar holoprosencephaly is visible on all modalities, but in general is identified on antenatal ultrasound (if performed), and best characterized by MRI. 16, No. Article History Received February 28, 2015; … 46, No. 6-10 Anterior and posterior to this connection, the cerebral hemispheres are separated.

Extracranial anomalies such as polydactyly, renal dysplasia, omphalocele and hydrops may be associated. The early embryonic occurrence may be even higher but may not be detected due to most fetuses aborting in early gestation. As with most cerebral structural congenital abnormalities, alobar holoprosencephaly is visible on all modalities, but in general is identified on antenatal ultrasound (if performed), and best characterized by MRI.
