Abstract
Absent circle of Willis (COW) has been described in cases of severe forms of cerebral developmental anomalies such as alobar prosencephaly. However, there are no reports of absent COW in patients with a milder form of cerebral abnormality such as colpocephaly. We report a unique case of an adult with colpocephaly and absent COW and discuss their association from a developmental perspective.Entities:
