Abstract
Holoprosencephaly refers to a spectrum of craniofacial malformations including cyclopia, ethmocephaly, cebocephaly, and premaxillary agenesis. Etiologic heterogeneity is well documented. Chromosomal, genetic, and teratogenic factors have been implicated. Recognition of holoprosencephaly as a developmental field defect stresses the importance of close scrutiny of relatives for mild forms such as single median incisor, hypotelorism, bifid uvula, or pituitary deficiency.Entities:
