Fetal Cyclopia, Proboscis, Holoprosencephaly, and Polydactyly: A Case Report With Review of Literature.

Curēus 2023 Februrary
We present a case of holoprosencephaly (HPE) with cyclopia and proboscis. The mother was a 35-year-old, G1P1 with no known comorbid conditions, not in a consanguineous marriage, and with no history of illicit drug use. On a routine antenatal ultrasound scan, features of alobar HPE, proboscis, and other anomalies were identified. The mother was counseled about the condition and as per their consent, the pregnancy was terminated. After labor induction, she gave birth to a female neonate weighing 1,000 g. The newborn's Apgar score could not be calculated. In the initial physical examination, an eye and a 3.5-cm proboscis were seen in the middle of the forehead. The newborn had no nose, and the outer ears were normal. On postmortem examination, alobar HPE, polydactyly, ventricular septal defect, and myelomeningocele were confirmed. This case report highlights the importance of attention to these details during antenatal scans for early detection in order to reduce the maternal and neonatal health burden. The pictures presented in this article were taken after obtaining parental consent.
