Özet

Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a congenital anomaly of central nervous system caused by the impaired midline cleavage of the prosencephalon known as forebrain. It is associated with facial anomalies in most cases. The entity is present in 1 in 5200 to 16000 liveborn birth. Since the prognosis is poor in most cases, early diagnosis is critical in prevention of maternal morbidity and psychological trauma.
