Abstract
Two cases of retroflexed holoprosencephaly are presented. Reports of nine cases of retroflexion were available in the literature. Case analysis indicates that retroflexion results from subdural fluid collection. The incidence of retroflexion in holoprosencephaly was apparently higher than that of ordinary subdural hygromas. Possible explanations for this high incidence are given. The clinical significance and management of retroflexion are touched upon.Entities:
